Re: [git patches] new wireless stuffs

Hi!
If this is post-2.6.13 material, that's fine.

I've been getting tired of the slow movement of wireless.  A little bit 
of that is my fault, certainly.  I've also been wanting to get these net 
drivers out to Linux users.

This adds HostAP, ipw2100, ipw2200, and the generic ieee80211 code.  The 
only -changes- in this set are cosmetic.

Further work is pending from SuSE and Intel [*poke* *poke* to them], but 
these should be working, and have been in -mm for quite a while.

One big thing I'm still hoping for is that someone will merge HostAP 
(where ieee80211 code came from) with the ieee80211 generic code.  The 
HostAP maintainer has been unwilling to do it, even though he has been 
good about keeping HostAP updated, so hopefully a volunteer will step up.

Please pull from branch 'ieee80211-wifi' of
rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/netdev-2.6.git

to obtain the changes described by the attached diffstat/changelog.  The 
file additions were too large to attach, so I only attached the changes 
to existing files.  Existing drivers merely had some struct renames (for 
new ieee80211 header), and some 'add "static" attribute' changes.
Wow, thanks!
