[PATCH] rtl8180: Fix to add STA mode

[PATCH] rtl8180: Fix to add STA mode

[Larry Finger]

To be compatible with mac80211 following commit 3fc7826b95521 (mac80211:
only create default STA interface if supported), rtl8180 needs to set
NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION in interface_modes.

John,

This patch should be included with the 2.6.29 material.

obviously. I didn't know we'd missed an in-tree driver when adding the
interface_modes thing, thanks.
