The source was available--at first it was only for the admin running
the wireless LAN (he copied it onto my system and compiled it there,
then deleted the source); but then they changed their minds and
released it.  I think I've still got a copy if anybody's interested,
but I imagine it's been improved since July (given the number of kernel
hackers who were grumbling over it that week :-).
