Yeah, but that's only in Qualcomm trees, right?
kernel/driver/net/wireless/wcnss is not available in upstream, ie. this
tree:

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/

We cannot depend/use any code which is not Linus' tree. But I have a
solution for that, see mail about wcn36xx-msm.ko glue layer from
yesterday.
