This enables Adaptive Noise Immunity (ANI) on ath9k. ANI is as algorithm designed to minimize the detrimental effects of time-varying interferences. This should help with throughput in noisy environments. To use ANI we re-enable the MIB interrupt. Since ANI works on a timer and updates the noise floor we take advantage of this and also report a non-static noise floor now to mac80211.

Fix by disabling rt2x00 rfkill support when rt2x00 is built-in and rfkill has been modularized, and a similar scheme for the relationship between leds_class and rt2x00.. Also, give a warning to the end-user when rfkill-/leds-support is disabled this way, so that the end-user has at least some clues on what is going on. Proper fixing required some general updates of the Kconfig-structure for the rt2x00 driver, whereby internal configuration symbols had to be moved to after the user-visible configuration symbols.

Long awaited, hard work. This patch totally cleans up the rate control API to remove the requirement to include internal headers outside of net/mac80211/. There's one internal use in the PID algorithm left for mesh networking, we'll have to figure out a way to clean that one up and decide how to do the peer link evaluation, possibly independent of the rate control algorithm or via new API. Additionally, ath9k is left using the cross-inclusion hack for now, we will add new API where necessary to make this work properly, but right now I'm not expert enough to do it.

This patch removes the HT flags from RXON when moving from HT to legacy. This avoids keeping those flags set and possibly miss configuring firmware. If we are configured in HT, fat channel: channel 1 above, and move later to legacy channel 11, we need to clear the FAT channel control flags in RXON. If we don't, the firmware will understand this as channel 11 above which is not possible due to regulatory constraints, leading to firmware crash.

2008-09-24wireless: Read scan flags correctly on x86-64David Kilroy
The SIOCSIWSCAN handler is passed data in an iw_point structure. Some drivers erronously use an iw_param instead. On 32 bit architectures the difference isn't noticed as the flags parameter tends to be the only one used by scan handlers and is at the same offset. On 64 bit architectures the pointer in the iw_point structure means the flag parameter is at different offsets in these structures.
