Once mac80211 is merged we probaby need a (out of tree?) fork of the bcm43xx-softmac to support old 802.11b cards. The new driver can't support this anymore (issues with firmware. It's simply too hard to support both architectures in one driver). We could probably still leave a stripped down bcm43xx-softmac in the kernel, though that would require for softmac to stay there, too. I lean towards doing an out of tree tarball to get the legacy stuff out of the main kernel tree.
