wireless coordination and who's working on what?

[Farhan Khan]

Hi all,

I am working on another project which might be a few months, but would
be interested in picking up a driver that is of lower priority.
Ashish, I have two (maybe 3) of those cards from different vendors. I
would not mind testing any code you produce.
