Clearly, you don't have a clue about wireless. I'll admit to being pissed off by statements like this because I personally spent a lot of time getting wireless code into shape for merging, and it took a long time.
If we'd have merged the existing wireless drivers 2 years ago, we would have (at least) four 802.11 stacks in the kernel now, at least two legally questionable drivers (the ath5k legal situation would probably never have been cleared up, acx100 still isn't), no uniform API so it would be impossible to write userspace support tools etc.
