94d9842403 remove the strip driver
The latest trace about usage of this driver I found was an (unanswered)
request for help by a user trying to get it working reliably five years
ago with kernel 2.4 .

And even if it was still working the use cases of this driver (requiring
both the hardware and someone providing this kind of wireless network)
have become practically nonexisting.

This patch therefore removes the strip driver.

acc1e7a300 mac80211_hwsim: 802.11 radio simulator for mac80211
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.

19ae3a6a96 ipw2100/ipw2200: note firmware loading caveat in Kconfig help text
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.

Tested on 5211, 5213+5112, 5213A+2112A and it wors fine.

Also i figured out a way to process rate vallue found
on status descriptors, it's still buggy but we are getting
closer (i think it improved stability a little).

8318d78a44 cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversion
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.

This patch adds a mac80211 based wireless driver for the rtl8180 and
rtl8185 PCI wireless cards.  Also included are some rtl8187 changes
required due to the relationship between that driver and this one.

Michael Wu is primarily responsible for the initial driver and rtl8185
support.  Andreas Merello provided the additional rtl8180 support.

Thanks to Jukka Ruohonen for the donating a rtl8185 card! It was very
helpful for the rtl8225z2 code.

01d478338f [PATCH] ipw2200: always enable frequently used debugging code
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.

e85d0918b5 [PATCH] ZyDAS ZD1211 USB-WLAN driver
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, ...).

d685b8c226 [PATCH] ipw2200: Enable rtap interface for RF promiscuous mode while associated
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

c1783454a3 [PATCH] Revert NET_RADIO Kconfig title change
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.

711e2c33ac [PATCH] WE-20 for kernel 2.6.16
This is version 20 of the Wireless Extensions. This is the
completion of the RtNetlink work I started early 2004, it enables the
full Wireless Extension API over RtNetlink.

	Few comments on the patch :
	o totally driver transparent, no change in drivers needed.
	o iwevent were already RtNetlink based since they were created
(around 2.5.7). This adds all the regular SET and GET requests over
RtNetlink, using the exact same mechanism and data format as iwevents.
	o This is a Kconfig option, as currently most people have no
need for it. Surprisingly, patch is actually small and well
encapsulated.
	o Tested on SMP, attention as been paid to make it 64 bits clean.
	o Code do probably too many checks and could be further
optimised, but better safe than sorry.
	o RtNetlink based version of the Wireless Tools available on
my web page for people inclined to try out this stuff.

	I would also like to thank Alexey Kuznetsov for his helpful
suggestions to make this patch better.

driver really doesn't depend on ISA, it does some ISA stuff in the
initialization code, since the driver supports both ISA and PCI cards.  So
the driver should depend on ISA_DMA_API to build on all systems, and this
will not hurt PCI at all.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
