This is a reason why leaving in the wireless capability is a good idea.

Why leave in all of wireless support?  It is a _lot_ of code, which your

If we need iwlib (and we do), then HAL has no reason to reproduce the
functionality - and _especially_ no reason to reproduce the
functionality, albeit read-only.
