This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate
registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The
old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k)
are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations
can be done.
Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the
IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be
unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants
to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty
much required for travelling.
Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA
mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added
to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be
empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to
the BSS conf stuff.
I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit
power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.

The geo/channel information is obtained from the EEPROM, which is read
during probe. We can thus set up channel information at this time. This
helps us to support ioctl commands that rely on this before the interface
is brought up.
Clearly matches _init_channel_map with _free_channel_map and _init_geos
with _free_geos to ensure functions calling these routines can also call
their cleanup routines.
Fixes a few bugs:
- if channel information is not available when ioctl commands are
issued then we get a NULL pointer oops. Having channel information
set up during probe we can deal with ioctl commands without requiring
interface to be brought up.
This fixes bug: http://www.bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1552
- Fix potential problem if user triggers probe/remove/probe sequence. The
value of priv->channel_count was used to determine if channel map is
set up. This value was never reset when channel map was removed.
- Fix memory leak: priv->modes need to be freed when device removed.

conditions for the hardware rf_kill switch states during suspend and

rf_kill enable or disable; before resume we can have rf_kill enable or
disable. So there are totally 2^3 = 8 conditions to handle. This patch

This patch moves the firmware loading (read firmware from disk and load
it into the device SRAM) from pci_probe time to the first network
interface open time. There are two reasons for doing this:
1. To support kernel buildin iwlwifi drivers. Because kernel initializes
network devices subsystem before hard disk and SATA subsystem, it is
impossible to get the firmware image from hard disk in the PCI probe
handler. Thus delaying the firmware loading into the network
interface open time is the way to go. Note, we only read the firmware
image from hard disk the first time the interface is open. After this
is succeeded, we cache the firmware image into the host memory. This
is a performance gain when user open and close the interface multiple
times and is necessary for device suspend and resume.
2. For better power saving. When the iwlwifi modules are loaded (or
buildin the kernel) but the wireless network interface is not being
used, it is a good practice the wireless device consumes as less
power as possible. Unloading the firmware from the wireless device
and unregister the driver's interrupt handler in the network
interface close handler provides users a way to achieve this. User
space network configuration tools (i.e NetworkManager) can also
contribute here when it detects a wired cable is connected and
close the wireless interface automatically.
This patch also includes the pci_save/restore_state() fixed by Ian Schram
upon the first version.

This patch introduces new ieee80211_bss_conf structure that is

This new BSS configuration infrastructure adds the following

* removes the need to look up interfaces by if_id, this is better
for working with network namespaces and performance
* allows drivers to store and retrieve per-interface data without

This patch give the iwlwifi the ability to support A-MSDU up to 8K
Please notice - in order to work in 8K A-MSDU ucode support is needed,
version 4.44.1.19 (soon to be published). 4K A-MSDU works in current ucode
version as well.

This patch enhanced WPA authenication stability by avoiding scan
immediately followed by association. We don't do any scanning right
after association in next several seconds. This will allow WPA
authentication to take place without any interruption.

- Remove HT code from iwl-3945.h - it is not needed here as 3945
does not support HT. The code ended up here during the header file
split.
- Modify a few places where the CONFIG variables were named
incorrectly: all changes are to comments only.

The iwl3945 and iwl4965 devices share some common structure, but with a
lot of difference split all over. Currently the two drivers share a lot
of headers and use ugly preprocessor magic to manage the difference.
This patch keeps two entirely separate copies of the headers to get rid
of these hacks an ease future development.

This patch do the following 2 things:
1. Make sure we don't add rate 60M part of supported rate in proble request,
some AP does not like that.
2. It is wrong to set priv->active_rate in this function, this will set
it to all avialable rates which might overwrite the mode supported rate.
priv->active_rate should be set by only from iwl_set_rate.
