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.

The problem is that priv->assoc_id is set when assoc. resp frame is
received. But, when it is set, LQ cmd is still not sent to the uCode, it is
done from bg_post_assoc, which is called through a workqueue.
On the other hand, when a tx arrives at the moment when this flag is set,
but LQ is still not sent, the if condition in tx_skb will not hold and
the frame will not be dropped. Thus, it will be sent through
which is still not in the sta table in the uCoded.

Be consistent when using inline functions. If the function only used
once we move it to where it is used - no need for externs.

This patch gets rid of the if_id stuff where possible in favour of
a new per-virtual-interface structure "struct ieee80211_vif". This
structure is located at the end of the per-interface structure and
contains a variable length driver-use data area.
This has two advantages:
* removes the need to look up interfaces by if_id, this is better
for working with network namespaces and performance
* allows drivers to store and retrieve per-interface data without
having to allocate own lists/hash tables

This patch skips mac80211 configuration setting during a hardware scan
and replays it afterwards for the iwlwifi drivers.

This patch changes the iwlwifi driver to properly support
monitor interfaces after the filter flags change.
The patch is originally created by Johannes Berg for iwl4965. I fixed some
of the comments and created a similar patch for iwl3945.

This patch give the iwlwifi the ability to support A-MSDU up to 8K
Please notice - in order to work in 8K A-MSDU ucode support is needed,
version 4.44.1.19 (soon to be published). 4K A-MSDU works in current ucode
version as well.

This patch enhanced WPA authenication stability by avoiding scan
immediately followed by association. We don't do any scanning right
after association in next several seconds. This will allow WPA
authentication to take place without any interruption.

does not support HT. The code ended up here during the header file

- Modify a few places where the CONFIG variables were named
incorrectly: all changes are to comments only.

Currently the iwl3945 & iwl4965 drivers share some common Kconfig
symbols. This split it up into options for the individual drivers
and gets rid of all the CONFIG_IWLWIFI cruft.

The iwl3945 and iwl4965 devices share some common structure, but with a
lot of difference split all over. Currently the two drivers share a lot
of headers and use ugly preprocessor magic to manage the difference.
This patch keeps two entirely separate copies of the headers to get rid
of these hacks an ease future development.
