2008-02-29cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversionJohannes Berg
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.

2008-01-28Add rtl8180 wireless driverMichael Wu
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. The Signed-off-by information below is collected from the individual patches submitted to wireless-2.6 before merging this driver upstream.

On rtl8187, power levels are indeed stored in nibbles, so this patch is wrong. Please revert this patch. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
