Larry Finger 073863432f staging: r8712u: Add missing initialization and remove configuration parameter CONFIG_R8712_AP
When this driver was upgraded to the vendor 20100831 version in
commit 93c55dda09 et al,, one listhead initialization was missed.
This broke complete operation of the driver whenever AP mode was
enabled. This fixes https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27996.

The configuration parameter R8712_AP is misleading as the driver cannot
function as an AP without a heavily hacked version of hostapd. Thus, it
makes sense to remove the parameter; however the code and data configured
for the option is left in.

Ali Bahar 93c55dda09 staging: r8712u: Merging Realtek's latest (v2.6.6). Tx aggregation.
Tx Aggregation (CONFIG_R8712_TX_AGGR, known as CONFIG_USB_TX_AGGR in the
Realtek tarball) is now added.

However, its tests have not been successful! The default in the Realtek
tarball is to not build it -- and the Release Notes does not seem to list this
as a feature. I have tested the driver with and without this feature; the
former does not successfully associate when WPA2 is used.

Larry Finger 2865d42c78 staging: r8712u: Add the new driver to the mainline kernel
This code is for a completely new version of the Realtek 8192 USB devices
such as the D-Link DWA-130. The Realtek code, which was originally for
Linux, Windows XP and Windows CE, has been stripped of all code not needed
for Linux. In addition, only one additional configuration variable, which
enables AP mode, remains.
