Stephen Hemminger d0cf9c0dad wireless: convert drivers to netdev_tx_t
Mostly just simple conversions:
  * ray_cs had bogus return of NET_TX_LOCKED but driver
    was not using NETIF_F_LLTX
  * hostap and ipw2x00 had some code that returned value
    from a called function that also had to change to return netdev_tx_t

John W. Linville b8ecd988b1 libipw: initiate cfg80211 API conversion
Initiate the conversion of libipw to the new cfg80211 configuration API.

For now, leave CONFIG_IPW2200_PROMISCUOUS stuff alone.  Eventually
migrate it to cfg80211 when the add/del/change_virtual_intf methods
are implemented.

John W. Linville b0a4e7d8a2 libipw: switch from ieee80211_* to libipw_* naming policy
This eliminates the dual definition of ieee80211_channel (and possibly
others), further clarifying who defines what and paving the way for
inclusion of cfg80211.h.

Zhu Yi 11ebd1bf07 ipw2200: firmware DMA loading rework
Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz reported an atomic order-6 allocation failure
for ipw2200 firmware loading in kernel 2.6.30. High order allocation is
likely to fail and should always be avoided.

The patch fixes this problem by replacing the original order-6
pci_alloc_consistent() with an array of order-1 pages from a pci pool.
This utilized the ipw2200 DMA command blocks (up to 64 slots). The
maximum firmware size support remains the same (64*8K).

This patch fixes bug http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14016

Julia Lawall ec96cfd821 drivers/net: Drop unnecessary NULL test
The result of container_of should not be NULL.  In particular, in this case
the argument to the enclosing function has passed though INIT_WORK, which
dereferences it, implying that its container cannot be NULL.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as
follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>
@@
identifier fn,work,x,fld;
type T;
expression E1,E2;
statement S;
@@

static fn(struct work_struct *work) {
  ... when != work = E1
  x = container_of(work,T,fld)
  ... when != x = E2
- if (x == NULL) S
  ...
}

Greg Kroah-Hartman 928841b153 Wireless: remove driver_data direct access of struct device
In the near future, the driver core is going to not allow direct access
to the driver_data pointer in struct device.  Instead, the functions
dev_get_drvdata() and dev_set_drvdata() should be used.  These functions
have been around since the beginning, so are backwards compatible with
all older kernel versions.

Dan Williams c3d72b9681 ipw2x00: age scan results on resume
Scanned BSS entries are timestamped with jiffies, which doesn't
increment across suspend and hibernate.  On resume, every BSS in the
scan list looks like it was scanned within the last 10 seconds,
irregardless of how long the machine was actually asleep.  Age scan
results on resume with the time spent during sleep so userspace has a
clue how old they really are.

Jiri Slaby 1788bcd155 ipw2200, fix ipw io functions
- some of them are defined as follows:
  #define ipw_write32	expr1; expr2
  and are called from loops or ifs without a compound statement, so
  they are broken. Fix it by putting them into do {} while (0) for
  writes and ({ }) for reads.
- also unify and cleanup them while at it -- convert them from
  macros to inline functions, so that we get some basic typechecking

Helmut Schaa 14a4dfe2ff ipw2200: fix scanning while associated
This patch fixes sporadic firmware restarts when scanning while associated.

The firmware will quietly cancel a scan (while associated) if the dwell time
for a channel to be scanned is larger than the time it may stay away from the
operating channel (because of DTIM catching). Unfortunately the driver is not
notified about the canceled scan and therefore the scan watchdog timeout will
be hit and the driver causes a firmware restart which results in
disassociation. This mainly happens on passive channels which use a dwell time
of 120 whereas a typical beacon interval is around 100.

The patch changes the dwell time for passive channels to be slightly smaller
than the actual beacon interval to work around the firmware issue. Furthermore
the number of allowed beacon misses is increased from one to three as otherwise
most scans (while associated) won't complete successfully.

However scanning while associated will still fail in corner cases such as a
beacon intervals below 30.

No need to pad the header so no constant needed for that,
no need to carry any version number from netbsd nor CVS
IDs from them.
