Sorry, I didn't know you are reading this list :-)

I mean, wlanctl-ng is 74k when linked dynamically against uClibc.  
iwconfig and iwpriv together are 44k.  Not really much, but in my
configuration, every kilobyte counts.  Besides, I think it will be easier
to compile HostAP into the kernel, thus eliminating insmod from busybox.

I simply prefer to have choice as long as I can.  linux-wlan-ng works with
firmware AP, HostAP doesn't.  If I fix HostAP today, I'll have a choice
tomorrow.  It can be handy if I try to squeeze e.g. sshd into the last
kilobytes of the flash.
