As already proposed in bug 537708 comment 6, it makes sense to use the new driver as default, except in cases where it does not work." For users who use NetworkManager this will not work: in NetworkManager/src/supplicant-manager/nm-supplicant-interface.c:857 "wext" is hardcoded as the driver. This should be changed. The user should be allowed to choose nl80211 driver.
