[PATCH 00/47] iwlwifi updates for 2.6.35

[Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com>]

First off, I apologize for the size of this submission. We do our best to
avoid large submissions such as this, unfortunately a few things worked
against us during this round. Actually, in addition to this, we had something
working for us too in the form of a very active developer.

As our previous submission I again merged wireless-2.6 into
wireless-next-2.6. This is because our single wireless-2.6 patch will cause
merge conflict when it is applied to wireless-next-2.6 and there is a
particular way we prefer this conflict be handled.

In this series we add support for plcp error checking to 3945. This
introduced the usage of RF reset to 3945 and thus requires the scan races
to be fixed for it also. The station management code keeps receiving
updates and fixes after it has been converted to use the mac80211
callbacks. We introduce support for a new firmware file format that
utilizes TLVs. More changes are made to driver where it was doing something
unnecessarily due to mac80211 already doing it or using information from
mac80211 more effectively. We continue to add recognition and support for a
new series of hardware "6000 series Gen2". A significant portion of this
series include code cleanup, which, for example, reduce the times decisions
are made based on hardcoded device type instead relying on a generic
configuration.

These patches are also available from wireless-next-2.6 branch on
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/iwlwifi-2.6.git
