 * Major things that probably will NEVER be supported, barring a

 * - QoS
 * - 802.1X authentication ("WPA Enterprise")
 * - Contention-free periods
 * - "ad-hoc" networks (IBSS), monitor mode, host AP mode
 * - hidden networks on the 5GHz band due to regulatory issues
 * - spectrum management on the 5GHz band (TPC and DFS), as required
 *   in some non-US regulatory domains
 * - Clause 14 PHYs (Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum on 2.4GHz)
 *   and Clause 16 PHYs (infrared) - I'm not aware of any real-world
 *   use of these.
