It's in the 2.6.13 tree, and what the patch includes is roughly the
stuff that in-tree host and peripheral authentication will need.
The "need" is just to be proactive about sharing basic interfaces.

That is, given a device to program (e.g. write your own using Linux and
a net2280) it's what you'd combine with AES code in the crypto package
to negotiate keys and store them in the Linux secure keystore.

It doesn't include stuff that I think would only be used inside a radio
adapter driver.  Such hardware is still under development.  :)
