44a504c405 wireless: fix regression caused by regulatory config option
The default for the regulatory compatibility option is wrong;
if you picked the default you ended up with a non-functional wifi
system (at least I did on Fedora 9 with iwl4965).
I don't think even the October 2008 releases of the various distros
has the new userland so clearly the default is wrong, and also
we can't just go about deleting this in 2.6.29...

Change the default to "y" and also adjust the config text a little to
reflect this.

This patch fixes regression #11859

With thanks to Johannes Berg for the diagnostics

There are two improvements in this simple patch:

b2e1b30290 cfg80211: Add new wireless regulatory infrastructure
This adds the new wireless regulatory infrastructure. The
main motiviation behind this was to centralize regulatory
code as each driver was implementing their own regulatory solution,
and to replace the initial centralized code we have where:

* only 3 regulatory domains are supported: US, JP and EU
* regulatory domains can only be changed through module parameter
* all rules were built statically in the kernel

We now have support for regulatory domains for many countries
and regulatory domains are now queried through a userspace agent
through udev allowing distributions to update regulatory rules
without updating the kernel.

Each driver can regulatory_hint() a regulatory domain
based on either their EEPROM mapped regulatory domain value to a
respective ISO/IEC 3166-1 country code or pass an internally built
regulatory domain. We also add support to let the user set the
regulatory domain through userspace in case of faulty EEPROMs to
further help compliance.

Support for world roaming will be added soon for cards capable of
this.

For more information see:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA

For now we leave an option to enable the old module parameter,
ieee80211_regdom, and to build the 3 old regdomains statically
(US, JP and EU). This option is CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY.
These old static definitions and the module parameter is being
scheduled for removal for 2.6.29. Note that if you use this
you won't make use of a world regulatory domain as its pointless.
If you leave this option enabled and if CRDA is present and you
use US or JP we will try to ask CRDA to update us a regulatory
domain for us.

f59ac04816 cfg80211: keep track of supported interface modes
It is obviously good for userspace to know up front which
interface modes a given piece of hardware might support (even
if adding such an interface might fail later because of
concurrency issues), so let's make cfg80211 aware of that.
For good measure, disallow adding interfaces in all other
modes so drivers don't forget to announce support for one mode
when they add it.

b46372710a net/wireless/nl80211.c: fix endless Netlink callback loop.
Although I only tested similar code (I don't use any of this wireless
code), the state maintainance between Netlink dump callback invocations
seems wrong here and should lead to an endless loop. There are also other
examples in the same file which might have the same problem. Perhaps someone
can actually test this (or refute my logic).

Take the simple example with only one element in the list (which should fit
into the message):

1. invocation:
  Start:
    idx = 0, start = 0
  Loop:
    condition (++idx < start) => (1 < 0) => false
    => no continue, fill one entry, exit loop, return skb->len > 0

2. invocation:
  Start:
    idx = 0, start = 1
  Loop:
    condition (++idx < start) => (1 < 1) => false
    => no continue, fill the same entry again, exit loop, return skb->len > 0

3. invocation:
  Same as 2. invocation, endless invocation of callback.

Also, iterations where the filling of an element fails should not be counted as
completed, so idx should not be incremented in this case.
