-Kernel modules may have dynamic references created during operation. - For example net80211 key entries reference functions in the crypto module - that implements the key's cipher. Presently there is no standard mechanism - for expressing this dependency so that module unloading is disallowed; - instead modules must track references and implement their own semantics. - This task is to define and implement a general mechanism for tracking - these references and use them in handling module unload requests.

-Many new and useful features (e.g. crypto protocols like WPA) of the WLAN - infrastructure in the kernel are not used in wi(4). While wi(4) - cards are old and can not compete with recent wireless cards, they are still - in use in a lot of places. The goal of this item is to examine the WLAN - infrastructure and other WLAN drivers in the tree for nice features and - port/use them in the wi(4) driver.
