Refactor wext to
* split out iwpriv handling
* split out iwspy handling
* split out procfs support
* allow cfg80211 to have wireless extensions compat code
w/o CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT
After this, drivers need to
- select WIRELESS_EXT - for wext support
- select WEXT_PRIV - for iwpriv support
- select WEXT_SPY - for iwspy support
except cfg80211 -- which gets new hooks in wext-core.c
and can then get wext handlers without CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT.
Wireless extensions procfs support is auto-selected
based on PROC_FS and anything that requires the wext core

to remove this is no one really is testing prism54 anymore,
and while it works p54pci provides support for the same hardware.
It should be noted I have been told some FullMAC devices may not
have worked with the SoftMAC driver but to date we have yet to

Note: For those RTL8187X devices that are built into the computer and have
a LED that is expected to be controlled with a radio switch, this patch will
not operate that LED. That will take a separate patch to be prepared later.

libertas: add support for Marvell SD8688 chip
Use RxPD->pkt_ptr to locate eth803 header in the packet
received since SD8688/v10 firmware allows a gap between
RxPD and eth803 header.
Set SDIO block size to 256 for CMD53.
The maximum block size for SD8688 WLAN function is set
to 512 in TPLFE_MAX_BLK_SIZE. But using 512 as block size
results upto 2K bytes data (4 blocks) being transferred
and causes buffer overflow in firmware.
Both changes above are backward compatible with earlier
firmware versions for SD8385/SD8686.

mac80211_hwsim is a Linux kernel module that can be used to simulate
arbitrary number of IEEE 802.11 radios for mac80211 on a single
device. It can be used to test most of the mac80211 functionality and
user space tools (e.g., hostapd and wpa_supplicant) in a way that
matches very closely with the normal case of using real WLAN
hardware. From the mac80211 view point, mac80211_hwsim is yet another
hardware driver, i.e., no changes to mac80211 are needed to use this
testing tool.

Most wireless drivers load their firmware at interface open time, which
generally occurs after the filesystem is available. However, the ipw drivers
load their firmware at probe time because firmware is required to read the
device MAC address. When built-in, probe happens before the filesystem is
available, hence device init will only complete successfully if the user
has made special arrangements (including firmware plus a loader in the
initramfs).
Note all this in the kconfig help text for both drivers.

This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate
registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The
old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k)
are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations
can be done.
Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the
IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be
unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants
to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty
much required for travelling.
Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA
mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added
to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be
empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to
the BSS conf stuff.
I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit
power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.

* add CONFIG_LIBERTAS to Kconfig
* remove global variable libertas_fw_name, the USB module might want to
use a different default FW name than the CF module, so libertas_fw_name
is now local to if_usb.c

Moving part of the debugging code from IPW_DEBUG to IPW_LL_DEBUG (low level
debugging) and make IPW_DEBUG be always enabled. IPW_LL_DEBUG still needs
to be enabled by selecting CONFIG_IPW2200_DEBUG. But it is highly
deprecated for normal users since it adds higher debug verbosity in driver
hot paths.

There are 60+ USB wifi adapters available on the market based on the ZyDAS
ZD1211 chip.
Unlike the predecessor (ZD1201), ZD1211 does not have a hardware MAC, so most
data operations are coordinated by the device driver. The ZD1211 chip sits
alongside an RF transceiver which is also controlled by the driver. Our driver
currently supports 2 RF types, we know of one other available in a few marketed
products which we will be supporting soon.
Our driver also supports the newer revision of ZD1211, called ZD1211B. The
initialization and RF operations are slightly different for the new revision,
but the main difference is 802.11e support. Our driver does not support the
QoS features yet, but we think we know how to use them.
This driver is based on ZyDAS's own GPL driver available from www.zydas.com.tw.
ZyDAS engineers have been responsive and supportive of our efforts, so thumbs
up to them. Additionally, the firmware is redistributable and they have
provided device specs.
This driver has been written primarily by Ulrich Kunitz and myself. Graham
Gower, Greg KH, Remco and Bryan Rittmeyer have also contributed. The
developers of ieee80211 and softmac have made our lives so much easier- thanks!
We maintain a small info-page: http://zd1211.ath.cx/wiki/DriverRewrite
If there is enough time for review, we would like to aim for inclusion in
2.6.18. The driver works nicely as a STA, and can connect to both open and
encrypted networks (we are using software-based encryption for now). We will
work towards supporting more advanced features in the future (ad-hoc, master
mode, 802.11a, ...).

With this patch, a new promiscuous mode is enabled. If the module is loaded
with the rtap_iface=1 module parameter, two interfaces will be created
(instead of just one).
The second interface is prefixed 'rtap' and provides received 802.11 frames
on the current channel to user space in a radiotap header format.
Example usage:
% modprobe ipw2200 rtap_iface=1
% iwconfig eth1 essid MyNetwork
% dhcpcd eth1
% tcpdump -i rtap0
If you do not specify 'rtap_iface=1' then the rtap interface will
not be created and you will need to turn it on via:
% echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/*/rtap_iface
You can filter out what type of information is passed to user space via
the rtap_filter sysfs entry. Currently you can tell the driver to
transmit just the headers (which will provide the RADIOTAP and IEEE
802.11 header but not the payload), to filter based on frame control
type (Management, Control, or Data), and whether to report transmitted
frames, received frames, or both.
The transmit frame reporting is based on a patch by Stefan Rompf.
Filters can be get and set via a sysfs interface. For example, set the
filter to only send headers (0x7), don't report Tx'd frames (0x10), and
don't report data frames (0x100):
% echo 0x117 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/*/rtap_filter
All your packets are belong to us:
% tethereal -n -i rtap0

2.6.17-rc1 changed the title for the entry CONFIG_NET_RADIO. I
personally disagree with this change and want it reverted. Patch for
2.6.17-rc1.
Rationale : WIRELESS_EXT is an invisible option. Therefore,
the only way for a user to enable it is via NET_RADIO. Some users need
to do that for out-of-tree drivers. Therefore it should be mentionned
in the title of the option.
Rationale2 : the option just below is called "Wireless
Extension API over RtNetlink". Some users may confuse this option for
the main "Wireless Extension" option. Therefore reverting this change
help disambiguate the relation between those two options.
