I guess I should spend time making smaller patches now, for easy digest :)

In the meantime, comments on the compressed patch or the one I've posted 
here [1] are welcome

I don't claim to understand what you said, mainly as I'm not overly 
familiar with any wireless foo, beyond simple things like getting the 
ssid. Also, there is no reference to get_scan_results in that patch 
block. I guess what I'm really trying to ask is do we need the 
__NetBSD__ define there as it doesn't look NetBSD specific?
