The next step is to bypass the MIB calling mechanism altogether and just
invoke the hardware directly where needed, but at least now the list has
been paired down considerably.

There's no point in having a separate 'p80211' module, as nobody else is
ever going to use it. Push everyting into a single module, and get rid
of all exports.

It's not needed at all anymore now that we are in the kernel tree.

wlan-ng needed to interact with userspace, and support very old kernels,
so it used to define its own types for integers to ensure consistency.
It's all rather irrelevant now.

In this driver, netdev's private data is wlandevice_t. And the
wlandev(type of wlandevice_t) is exist before netdev be allocated. So
use netdev->ml_priv to point to the private data.
I am not sure whether I should consider the kernel version older than
2.3.38. Because in those kernels, netdevice_t is "structure dev"
instead of "structure net_device" and of course "dev->ml_priv" will
cause compile error. But before my patch, in function wlan_setup(),
there is a ether_setup(net_device) which already broke kernels which
older than 2.3.38.

This adds the wlan-ng prism2 USB driver to the drivers/staging tree.
The code was originally written by the linux-wlan-ng team, patched by
some Novell engineers to properly work on newer kernels, and then hacked
into place in order to get it to build properly in a single subdirectory
within the kernel tree by me.
It supports a wide range of older USB prism2 devices, and contains a
80211 stack to support this single driver.
