Comment (by mmlr):

 Don't bother investigating this. The native driver has the mentioned
 issues, but even if it didn't it doesn't use the FreeBSD compatibility
 layer. Since the current userland wireless interface uses the FreeBSD
 ioctls to communicate with the drivers, this would have to be "ported"
 into the native driver to make it work. Since there is also a, presumably
 better tested, FreeBSD driver for this device already, the native one can
 simply be dumped. I'll do that as soon as I get around to it.
