7bb4568372 mac80211: make tx() operation return void
The return value of the tx operation is commonly
misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers
will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and
they must also properly manage the queues (if they
didn't, mac80211 would already warn).

Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY
value also allows significant cleanups of the TX
TX handling code in mac80211.

Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the
old "return -1" there was wrong.

be663ab670 iwlwifi: split the drivers for agn and legacy devices 3945/4965
Intel WiFi devices 3945 and 4965 now have their own driver in the folder

	drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy

Add support to build these drivers independently of the driver for
AGN devices. Selecting the 3945 builds iwl3945.ko and iwl_legacy.ko,
and selecting the 4965 builds iwl4965.ko and iwl_legacy.ko. iwl-legacy.ko
contains code shared between both devices.

The 3945 is an ABG/BG device, with no support for 802.11n. The 4965 is a 2x3
ABGN device.
