Another idea here is we can provide a configfs frontend to cfg80211
therefore any device which implements cfg80211 will automagically have
a userspace frontend (/configfs/wireless/foo) ready to test cfg80211.
With this we wouldn't have to wait for the next userspace nl80211
application to start testing cfg80211 directly (without wireless
extensions compat). A configfs frontend can also allow more rapid
development of userspace interfaces to configure wireless devices
through cfg80211. Comments?
