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.

I have made a stupid copy&paste error: QoS option is named IPW_QOS not
IPW2200_MONITOR. Spotted by Daniel Paschka, thanks.
Add the following config entries for the ipw2200 driver to
drivers/net/wireless/Kconfig
* IPW2200_MONITOR
enables Monitor mode
* IPW_QOS
enables QoS feature - this is under development right now, so it depends
upon EXPERIMENTAL

This patch makes the IPW2100 and IPW2200 options available in
the configuration menu even if IEEE80211 has not been selected before.
This behaviour is more intuitive for people which are not familiar with
the driver internals.

CRYPTO is a helper variable, and to make it easier for users, it should
therefore select'ed and not be listed in the dependencies.
drivers/net/wireless/airo.c requires CONFIG_CRYPTO for compilations.
Therefore, AIRO_CS also has to CRYPTO.
Additionally, this patch removes the #ifdef's for the non-compiling
CRYPTO=n case from drivers/net/wireless/airo.c.

airo.c currently has MICSUPPORT enabled, which requires CONFIG_CRYPTO. A
user reported a build failure which is due to the lack of a Kconfig
dependency. See http://bugs.debian.org/344205.
This patch makes Kconfig enforce this dependency.

The aironet PCI driver has a build dependency on ISA that prevent the
driver to compile on systems that doesn't support ISA, like x86_64. The
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.

This results in recursive dependencies:
- IPW2200 depends on NET_RADIO
- IPW2200 selects IEEE80211
- IEEE80211 selects NET_RADIO

to the IPW2100 dependencies.

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!
