Thanks!

I really think we should get rid of wlan%dap devices. This will be
possible when all of interfaces use native 802.11 frames; additional
information from kernel to hostapd can be passed via netlink. But this
will probably mean large changes to hostapd.

I don't plan to modify them unless there is some fundamental problem in
them. But these changes are really invasive, so I wanted to hear other
people's opinions first (especially from DeviceScape people :-)).
