+  * [[en/users/Drivers/zd1211rw|zd1211rw]] supports mesh networking ([[en/users/Drivers/b43|b43]] will follow in 2.6.27, hopefully more drivers later)
+  * mac80211 now supports more optional HT (802.11n) features
+  * mac80211's monitor interfaces can now be configured more precisely, "cooked" monitors were added

+    * the bcm43xx driver

+Finally, lots of internal API updates and fixes.
