Any reports here? Also from users, please.

Okay, I think I have enough signoffs. Any opinions on dropping 
wlan-ng26? According to Dan, we still need madwifi, is there an Atheros 
user here who will fix it (apparently, a recent enough snapshot will 
compile).
IMO, once madwifi and lirc are fixed and I got at least one positive 
report for catalyst for every architecture, we can move. intel-53{6,7ep} 
and martian are unmaintained closed-source crap anyway, I won't be held 
back by those.
