Johannes Berg eab2ec83db wireless: make wireless drivers select core
It is somewhat non-sensical to allow selecting wireless
drivers without showing wireless core code options, and
since the wext refactoring this has made it possible to
generate configurations that will not build. Avoid this
and make wireless drivers select the wireless options.

Johannes Berg 3d23e349d8 wext: refactor
Refactor wext to
 * split out iwpriv handling
 * split out iwspy handling
 * split out procfs support
 * allow cfg80211 to have wireless extensions compat code
   w/o CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT

After this, drivers need to
 - select WIRELESS_EXT	- for wext support
 - select WEXT_PRIV	- for iwpriv support
 - select WEXT_SPY	- for iwspy support

except cfg80211 -- which gets new hooks in wext-core.c
and can then get wext handlers without CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT.

Wireless extensions procfs support is auto-selected
based on PROC_FS and anything that requires the wext core
(i.e. WIRELESS_EXT or CFG80211_WEXT).

Luis R. Rodriguez 4d8cd26849 wireless: mark prism54 as deprecated and mark for removal
The preferred module is p54pci which also supports FullMAC
PCI / Cardbus devices. We schedule removal for 2.6.34. Reason
to remove this is no one really is testing prism54 anymore,
and while it works p54pci provides support for the same hardware.
It should be noted I have been told some FullMAC devices may not
have worked with the SoftMAC driver but to date we have yet to
recieve a single bug report regarding this. If there are users
out there please let us know!

This removes the dependency on GPIO framework and lets the SPI host
driver handle the chip select. The SPI host driver is required to keep
the CS active for the entire message unless cs_change says otherwise.
This patch collects the two/three single SPI transfers into a message.
Also the delay in read path in case use_dummy_writes are not used is
moved into the SPI host driver.

Larry Finger a027087a6b rtl8187: Implement TX/RX blink for LED
The following patch implements some control over the LED on RTL8187B and
RTL8187L devices. Triggers are registered for TX and RX. Whenever the
trigger event occurs, the LED is turned off for 1/20 second, then turned
back on.

Note: For those RTL8187X devices that are built into the computer and have
a LED that is expected to be controlled with a radio switch, this patch will
not operate that LED. That will take a separate patch to be prepared later.

Bing Zhao e45d8e534b libertas: add support for Marvell SD8688 chip
libertas: add support for Marvell SD8688 chip

Use RxPD->pkt_ptr to locate eth803 header in the packet
received since SD8688/v10 firmware allows a gap between
RxPD and eth803 header.

Set SDIO block size to 256 for CMD53.
The maximum block size for SD8688 WLAN function is set
to 512 in TPLFE_MAX_BLK_SIZE. But using 512 as block size
results upto 2K bytes data (4 blocks) being transferred
and causes buffer overflow in firmware.

Both changes above are backward compatible with earlier
firmware versions for SD8385/SD8686.

The SDIO_DEVICE_IDs for SD8688 chip are added in
include/linux/mmc/sdio_ids.h

Adrian Bunk 94d9842403 remove the strip driver
The latest trace about usage of this driver I found was an (unanswered)
request for help by a user trying to get it working reliably five years
ago with kernel 2.4 .

And even if it was still working the use cases of this driver (requiring
both the hardware and someone providing this kind of wireless network)
have become practically nonexisting.

This patch therefore removes the strip driver.

Jouni Malinen acc1e7a300 mac80211_hwsim: 802.11 radio simulator for mac80211
mac80211_hwsim is a Linux kernel module that can be used to simulate
arbitrary number of IEEE 802.11 radios for mac80211 on a single
device. It can be used to test most of the mac80211 functionality and
user space tools (e.g., hostapd and wpa_supplicant) in a way that
matches very closely with the normal case of using real WLAN
hardware. From the mac80211 view point, mac80211_hwsim is yet another
hardware driver, i.e., no changes to mac80211 are needed to use this
testing tool.
