"ieee80211" was the old name of the common library for ipw2100 and
ipw2200. It was renamed to "libipw", but some occurrences of the old
name remained.
Rename alloc_ieee80211() to alloc_libipw() and free_ieee80211() to
free_libipw(). Adjust comments and label names. Change prefixes in
diagnostic messages.
Keep /proc/net/ieee80211 under the original name to avoid breaking user
interface.
Move the affected EXPORT_SYMBOL macros to their proper places.

The ieee->networks consists of 128 struct libipw_network entries. If
we allocate this chunk of memory altogether, it ends up with an
order 4 page allocation. High order page allocation is likely to fail
on system high load. This patch splits the big chunk memory allocation
into small pieces, each is 344 bytes, allocates them with 128 times.

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.
(v2: Fix unconditional wiphy_unregister in libipw which was causing
problems for ipw2100, somewhat based on prior attempted fix
by Zhu Yi <yi.zhu@intel.com>. Previously both original version of
this patch and Zhu Yi's fix attempt were reverted due to
discovery of regressions. -- JWL)

This reverts commit b8ecd988b1.
Due to poor API call balancing by me, this commit not only broke ipw2200
if it can't find it's firmware, it broke ipw2100 basically anytime you
removed the module. At this point in the cycle, let's just put it back
to a sane state and try again next time...

For non-monitor interfaces, the syntax for alloc_ieee80211/free_80211
is wrong. Because alloc_ieee80211 only creates (wiphy_new) a wiphy, but
free_80211() does wiphy_unregister() also. This is only correct when
the later wiphy_register() is called successfully, which apparently
is not the case for your fw doesn't exist one.

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.

net_device_ops this code is useless.

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.

The old ieee80211 code only remains as a support library for the ipw2100
and ipw2200 drivers. So, move the code and rename it appropriately to
reflects it's true purpose and status.
