Yes, people, PLEASE try this patch.  We should try hard to get it in 
for the release.  I'd test + commit it, but I don't have any wifi 
hardware, so I'll be committing it if I get at least one "works here" 
for every iwi, ipw, wi and ndis (wifi).

This new patch can do fancy stuff (including wpa) and Andrew is running 
it himself in various locations.  DragonFly needs YOU (pointing 
finger)!

cheers
