Both drivers have changed signifcantly on the "wifi" branch/topic, which is
probably not going to be merged before GSoC.

It is important to do the work for this project based on that branch, we
have to think about proper infrastructure for that (it might require you
to work with mercurial, instead of having mostly free choice as for our
other GSoC projects).

The wiki has a few tutorials how to deal with developement on the wifi
topic.
