Well that may be your opinion, but it's certainly not mine. We had just
discussed starting an in-house project to port the HAL to the d80211
stack when David made his announcement.
The reason? While we'd obviously prefer that the HAL didn't exist, if
it's going to exist we would far rather that it had a common 80211 stack
on top of it, so that we can easily switch to other chipsets and retain
the same featureset.
Reducing the number of 80211 stacks in use in Linux is a great thing.

I'll be very happy to provide beer for any devicescape employee I meet,
simply based on the initial release of dadwifi.
Cheers
