[PATCH V4 wireless-dev#pending-upstream] Add iwlwifi wireless drivers

[Zhu Yi]

Hi,

This is the fourth version of the patch (against 2.6.23-rc4 wireless-dev
branch pending-upstream) adds the mac80211 based wireless drivers for
the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection and Intel Wireless
WiFi Link AGN (4965) adapters. You can find it from:

http://intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/v7-iwlwifi-add-iwlwifi-wireless-drivers.patch

BTW, do you think the 11n stuff can be kept in iwlwifi driver
pend-upstream? The pro is, although it is not used currently, we
maintain the same code base between the iwlwifi in upstream and in
wireless-dev. If you are strongly against it, I'll remove it (probably
with some script). Your call.

Did you change those to subsys_initcall? I can't check right now
(offline), but it's required for proper operation when built-in, or you
need to rely on link order to have the rate control initialised earlier
than the drivers.

No, this won't happen because the current iwlwifi driver can only be
compiled as module. This was mainly caused by the split of the 3945 and
4965 code base (both of them define some same functions). We plan to
abstract a core layer for all the iwlwifi based drivers, so the problem
will be solved well. But that is targeted on .25.

Thanks,
