It is not specific for rebuilding. It is a possibility to create a
ready to go firmware image in a specific network environment. 

So doing some tests it is helpful to always generate an image with
wlan active without encryption to have a backup access to the
system. 

It is a useful feature for first time configuration. And on an
update you can always decide to use either -e fwcf or not.

What about the ifupdown patches lying around? No interest in these
patches? Can you explain what your plans are, before you start
hacking on it?

We should work together on new network scripts. You know the
limitation of the existing system. For example WPA2 with bridging
was not working, because there is no dependency logic in the
existing scripts. Christian Fischer has prepared a more comfortable
script environment, which at least someone should evaluate, before
we reinvent the wheel.

After reading this:
http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=43043
I am even not sure, if the VAP support in Broadcom is really worth
the efforts. Did you read the wlc.c source code? 

That is the part Felix implemented to patch the wl.o binary driver
on the fly. Does even anybody has a working VAP setup with OpenWrt
seen or documented?
