Well, Joe, here is what you can do: get in contact with the 802.11
driver and/or application maintainers, and offer to

- write or maintain code
- test code, especially
- submitting good bug reports
- testing development versions
- financial support, such as
- donating money to the project
- paying the developer(s) to keep developing
- offering a bounty for features you want
- hardware support, that is
- giving the developers the same hardware you use, so
they can test it.

You can also

- write to hardware manufacturers asking them to publish
information about the internals of their products.

Of course, you probably don't have the resources to do some of these
things. That's OK. Just remember that if you want something bad
enough, you PERSONALLY can make a difference as to how quickly and how
well it gets implemented.

You don't have to say "if only my vendor would do such-and-such". You
can say "Bob, I really want such-and-such. What can I do to help you
deliver it?"
