09552ccd82 b43: Drop packets that we are not able to encrypt
We must not transmit packets we're not able to encrypt.

This fixes a bug where in a tiny timeframe after machine resume
packets can get sent unencrypted and might leak information.

This also fixes three small resource leakages I spotted while fixing
the security problem. Properly deallocate the DMA slots in any DMA
allocation error path.

eb189d8bc9 b43: Add support for new firmware
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.

d987160b71 b43: Fix rxheader channel parsing
This patch fixes the parsing of the RX data header channel field.

The current code parses the header incorrectly and passes a wrong
channel number and frequency for each frame to mac80211.
The FIXMEs added by this patch don't matter for now as the code
where they live won't get executed anyway. They will be fixed later.
