This patch series enables WPA on Agere based orinoco devices.

Patchset overview
1-2: General scanning updates
3-9: Agere firmware download to RAM
10-12: Update orinoco to work with new firmware
13-19: WPA functionality

This patchset addresses a few issues raised the last time it was
submitted:
 * fix compile/sparse warnings on 64 bit
 * scan buffer size increased

The patchset is against wireless-testing (master-2008-08-20), is
sparse clean (UP), and should be bisectable. It is almost checkpatch
clean - the single warning looks like a false positive to me.

To use WPA, you will need an Agere firmware image. You can get the
necessary file at
<http://marc.info/?l=orinoco-devel&m=121078835610877>, just extract
and rename orinoco.fw to agere_sta_fw.bin and place it in
/lib/firmware (or distro equivalent). Alternatively you can try
extract firmware from a Windows driver using the program in
<http://marc.info/?l=orinoco-devel&m=120846933719051>.



Regards,

Dave.
