Pete Zaitcev 512a80916b [PATCH] bcm43xx: fix DMA TX skb freeing in case of fragmented packets. It seems to me that the today's wireless-2.6 git contains bcm43xx which does not free txb's correctly, if I understand it right. Consider a situation where a txb with two skb's is sent down. The dma_tx_fragment will save the pointer to meta->txb of the first fragment. If fragments are freed in order, ieee80211_txb_free frees both skb's when the first fragment is processed. This may result in reuse of the second skb's memory. This danger is rather remote, but it seems to me that the patch below not only fixes the problem, but also makes the code simpler, which is good, right?

README

	README
	------

	This directory is mostly for Wireless LAN drivers, in their
various incarnations (ISA, PCI, Pcmcia...).
	This separate directory is needed because a lot of driver work
on different bus (typically PCI + Pcmcia) and share 95% of the
code. This allow the code and the config options to be in one single
place instead of scattered all over the driver tree, which is never
100% satisfactory.

	Note : if you want more info on the topic of Wireless LANs,
you are kindly invited to have a look at the Wireless Howto :
		http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/
	Some Wireless LAN drivers, like orinoco_cs, require the use of
Wireless Tools to be configured :
		http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html

	Special notes for distribution maintainers :
	1) wvlan_cs will be discontinued soon in favor of orinoco_cs
	2) Please add Wireless Tools support in your scripts

	Have fun...
