New stuff in wireless-dev, wireless developers please pull...

[John W. Linville]

I'm basically caught-up on merging for wireless-dev.  Here is the URL,
just in case you forgot... :-)

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-dev.git

This includes a pull from Michael Buesch for bcm43xx stuff, a fresh
pull from Jiri for stack stuff, the addition of the p54 driver from
Michael Wu, Larry's wireless stats patches, and some misc patches
from (or through) David Kimdon and others.  I apologize if I've left
anyone out.  You'll still be in the changelogs... :-)

I've also added a 'pending' branch, with similar policies to the
'pending' branch in wireless-2.6 (i.e it means I've got the patch,
but I'm waiting on some feedback or changes, etc).

One big addition is the cfg80211/nl80211 stuff from Johannes.  I'm not
quite confident that the Kconfig stuff is right, but the code is there.
This is our WE successor, so driver authors please take notice and
plan for your driver's migration to the new configuration regime.

Please pull the tree and check things out.  If you sent a patch more
than a few days ago and it isn't in there, I've probably missed it
or discarded it for some reason.  Please feel free to resubmit any
missing patches.

Thanks for your support, and for all the great patches!  Keep 'em
coming! :-)

John

It doesn't seem to compile on my system:

wext-old.c:(.text+0x67672): undefined reference to `wireless_send_event'

This is with cfg80211 turned off. 

Thanks,

wext-old.c shouldn't be compiled then. Must be some Makefile bug, I'll
look into it.

Uh, common is missing. Adjust net/wireless/Makefile like this:

I'd be surprised if that patch applies. I generated it by hand :P
What would be cool if I could go to gitweb, edit the file and get a diff
out :) gitwiki.

Alright, I've uploaded a proper patch for this and fixed up all my other
patches to apply against the current wireless-dev.

Note that the d80211: change the cookie to be opaque as committed is
actually slightly buggy as I pointed out in a follow-up mail, the quilt
dir that's up on my homepage (which is now accessible too...) contains
the fixed version.
