Shocking!

:-)

One of the FreeBSD wifi developers has nicely built a table for what's
needed for 802.11p support, at least from the kernel side. I'll get it
tidied up and pushed online so we can both take a stab at fixing up
the kernel/driver support.

Some of it is mostly done in linux (half/quarter rate), we will need a
new mode where beacons are disabled; but the fun bits are stuff like
the QoS configuration parameters, time synchronisation stuff and
apparently some requirement that channel change happen within a TU.

That last one? Full of hilarity.
