Sorry, will violate that once again (this is preview, not for
commiting, so perhaps you can forgive me :-).

Which this, I'm able to connect to my access point and ping, without
ifconfig-ing the original interface up. Only softmac interface is
active.

I don't believe rewrite like that is a good idea.

My plan is:

1) remove duplicate 802.11 stack, making sure it still works as I
progress.

(at this point I have pretty small driver -- like 2000 lines -- but it
will be ugly)

2) either clean that one up, or rewrite it; making sure it still works
in the process.

(at this point we have mergeable driver)
