This patch moves the firmware loading (read firmware from disk and load
it into the device SRAM) from pci_probe time to the first network
interface open time. There are two reasons for doing this:
1. To support kernel buildin iwlwifi drivers. Because kernel initializes
network devices subsystem before hard disk and SATA subsystem, it is
impossible to get the firmware image from hard disk in the PCI probe
handler. Thus delaying the firmware loading into the network
interface open time is the way to go. Note, we only read the firmware
image from hard disk the first time the interface is open. After this
is succeeded, we cache the firmware image into the host memory. This
is a performance gain when user open and close the interface multiple
times and is necessary for device suspend and resume.
2. For better power saving. When the iwlwifi modules are loaded (or
buildin the kernel) but the wireless network interface is not being
used, it is a good practice the wireless device consumes as less
power as possible. Unloading the firmware from the wireless device
and unregister the driver's interrupt handler in the network
interface close handler provides users a way to achieve this. User
space network configuration tools (i.e NetworkManager) can also
contribute here when it detects a wired cable is connected and
close the wireless interface automatically.
This patch also includes the pci_save/restore_state() fixed by Ian Schram
upon the first version.

This patch removes iwl4965_tx_cmd function and splits its content to
iwl4965_hw_build_tx_cmd_rate, iwl4965_build_tx_cmd_basic,
and iwl4965_tl_get_stats function. The latest one will be deprecated
when traffic load will move to rate scale module.

This patch adds support for new firmware.
Old firmware is still supported until July 2008.
To get new firmware, go to
ftp://ftp.linksys.com/opensourcecode/wrt150nv11/1.51.3/
and download the tarball. We don't have a smaller tarball, yet.
That will be fixed later.
You can extract firmware out of the "wl_ap.o" file contained
in this tarball using latest fwcutter. You must pass the option
--unsupported to fwcutter.
Fwcutter-010 with official support for a new firmware image will
be released soon.

rt2500usb and rt73usb data and desc pointer initialization
was incorrect because it was using uninitialized variables
to determine the length.
In addition rt2500usb used skb_pull and removed the ieee80211
from each received frame instead of using skb_trim to remove
the device descriptor from the frame.
Finally this also fixes the descriptor override when 4 byte
aligning occured. We still need a completely valid descriptor
when using the TX/RX dumping capabilities in debugfs.

This patch (based on Ron Rindjunsky's) creates a framework for
a unified way to pass BSS configuration to drivers that require
the information, e.g. for implementing power save mode.
This patch introduces new ieee80211_bss_conf structure that is
passed to the driver via the new bss_info_changed() callback
when the BSS configuration changes.
This new BSS configuration infrastructure adds the following
new features:
* drivers are notified of their association AID
* drivers are notified of association status
and replaces the erp_ie_changed() callback. The patch also does
the relevant driver updates for the latter change.

This patch fixes an oops which was introduced as a regression by
commit fd640775bd16e1df50c867cc547af0, on the patch titled,
"mac80211: dont use interface indices in drivers".
ieee80211_generic_frame_duration() now relies on sdata->flags which
itself gets set upon bringing the interface up. We check for the
virtual interface now before setting the rate duration registers.
After the mode changes are introduced onto mac80211 we should revisit
these changes.
This patch was tested on the following cards:
1) BG card:
Atheros AR5213A chip found (MAC: 0x59, PHY: 0x43)
RF2112A 2GHz radio found (0x46)
2) ABG card:
Atheros AR5213A chip found (MAC: 0x59,PHY: 0x43)

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 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 packet filter flags don't belong in the interface structure
because they are device based instead of interface based.
So move the filter fields out of struct interface and into rt2x00_dev.

suspend & resume was broken since it called rt2x00mac_start()
and rt2x00mac_stop() which would fail to execute because the
DEVICE_PRESENT flag was not set.
Move the start and stop handlers into rt2x00lib.c which are called
from rt2x00mac_start() and rt2x00mac_stop() after they have checked
the DEVICE_PRESENT flag, while suspend and resume handlers can
directly call those functions.

These flags used to be fixed to one in rt2500pci_config_type, which
caused the beacon timer interrupt to fire. This would lead to
rt2x00lib_beacondone adding work which called
rt2x00lib_beacondone_scheduled which called ieee80211_beacon_get which
printed an error about not having any beacon data.
With this patch, these interrupts are only generated when the interface

For now it is to help in development. This way real users won't
