That sounds very good !
I can do (and I do it now) all the test by hand(wpa,wpa2, eap-tls)
If we use hostapd/wpa_supplicant which version (for example). This has been very problematic in the past
(some verision with some madwifi-version works other not ...)
There should also be pretty clear which tests was done with which kernel etc.

Also there should be a "freeze" period for the testers (maybe changes could be done on a branche
and commited to the trunk after all tests has been done say in about 1 week).

I can do tests with OpenWrt RC5 (on wrt54gl for example as non madwifi client) and mikrotik tests
(if this is on interest).

PLEASE: Do not forgett to test the sensitivity (I mean in range about -80/-85).
It seems that the new hal very bad (again?) with this ...
