ioctl mess
64-bit issues
proper locking: add a simple global mutex.
kernel style documentation (Documentation/kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt)
collapse command queueing (remove queueing should simplify complexity a lot)
test individual suspend/resume (CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND)
multiple rdmac commands from ioctl (wlanconfig) causes driver to detect device as "removed"
reloading the firmware can crash the machine after power up (reloading code)
wlan_do_getcis_ioctl copies Adapter->CisInfoBuf to userspace, which is never initialized.

#ifdef __KERNEL__ in wlan_scan.h? !!
lots of typedef struct { ... } foo
- most of them removed, a few remaining (marcelo)
__attribute__ ((packed)) wlan_ioctl_user_scan_cfg why packet?
- some packed attributes are useless, some are not. We removed some already, need to finish (marcelo)
and if it's for compatibility with hardware, the u64 should be either __le64 or __be64

Clean up IsNetworkCompatible() in wlan_scan.c
Break current SIOC*IWENCODE into SIOC*IWENCODE, SIOC*IWENCODEEXT, SIOC*IWAUTH
Implement SIOC*IWGENIE
Make driver do deferred assocation rather than blocking on assoc in WE handlers like SIOCSIWENCODE
Allocate the WPA IE on the fly rather than using a constant sized buffer
