Attached is an initial version of the mwl8k driver for Marvell 88w8xxx
PCI/PCIe wireless parts (against 2.6.27.1).  This version was written
and tested against the 88w8687 (802.11b/g), but it shouldn't be hard to
extend the support to other parts in the 8xxx series, since the firmware
interface is very similar between parts.

There's an occasional timeout warning with mwl8k_stop(), and hardware
crypto is still a work-in-progress, but other than that it looks pretty
stable.

Feedback appreciated!

Hi Dan,

Oooh, thanks for the Christmas present.  Just in time for the holidays.
Is there a git repo somewhere that we could all base off of, so we don't
have to deal with patches to patches to patches until it gets into
wireless-testing?

There is no git repo for now, but if e.g. it's held over for 2.6.31
it shouldn't be a problem to create one.

In the meanwhile, please send me any patches you have and I'll deal
with them.


thanks,
Lennert
