无线网卡驱动程序 802.11b无线网卡可直接移植到2.6内核中去

	* at76c503a/at76c503.c: fixed the bug in iwpriv wlanX set_debug
	  again, copy_from_user seems to be needed (at least on 2.4.23)

2004-03-09 21:57  njones

	* at76c503a/at76c503.h: - Removed one remaining trace of the
	  SET_AUTH_MODE ioctl

2004-03-09 21:56  njones

	* at76c503a/at76c503.c: - Removed all traces of container_of.  It
	  was quite a silly idea to use it   on a union in the first place
	  (duh!).  Union member is now cast back to   the union in the
	  calls to the kernel provided spy functions.  - Removed some
	  remaining traces of the SET_AUTH_MODE private ioctl - disabled
	  the set_retry iw_handler as it is uncertain whether the retry
	  parameter is settable at all on this device - used offsetof to
	  replace a creative exploitation of the C language - in the
	  SET_DEBUG ioctl, transferring data->pointer from userspace is
	  not needed as it will already be done at this point, either
	  within   at76c503_ioctl if the ioctl interface is being used, or
	  within the   wireless subsystem if the iw_handler interface is
	  used.

2004-03-08 02:30  jal2

	* at76c503a/: at76c503.c, at76c503.h: - authentication mode is now
	  determined by the open/restricted param of   encr/key in iwconfig
	  (open = open system, restr = shared secret) - removed
	  dev->wep_excl_unencr field, unencrypted data is now always
	  excluded   if WEP is active

2004-03-08 01:45  jal2

	* at76c503a/at76c503.c: added define container_of if not defined in
	  some include

2004-03-08 01:09  jal2

	* at76c503a/at76c503-i3861.c: added device IO-DATA WN-B11/USB

2004-03-07 21:16  njones

	* at76c503a/at76c503.c: Quite a big patch, but all changes are for
	  the same purpose: to allow the driver to compile under older 2.4
	  kernels: - Added macros to only include iw_handler.h if
	  WIRELESS_EXT > 12, if < 12   a definition of EIWCOMMIT
	  EINPROGRESS is needed.  - Macro definition for both conditions:
	  IW_REQUEST_INFO   = struct iw_request_info if WIRELESS_EXT > 12,
	  else = void since the   iw_request_info struct doesn't exist for
	  WIRELESS_EXT <= 12 - Fixed instance where usb_fill_bulk_urb was
	  being called directly   instead of via the FILL_BULK_URB macro -
	  Changed all instances of struct iw_request_info to
	  IW_REQUEST_INFO,   see above - All iw_handlers now take the
	  iwreq_data union member rather than the   iwreq_data object
	  itself.  This is to simplify things for older   versions of the
	  kernel (< 2.4.19) where iwreq_data did not exist and	 all the
	  ioctl payload types were defined in a union called 'u' inside
	  iw_req.  Not only does this save us using preprocessing for the
	  iw_handler function headers, but it also allows the code inside
	  the	handlers to be a bit cleaner as well.  I cant remember what
	  the	official C standard dictates, but my understanding tells me
	  that	 a pointer to a union can be used transparently as a
	  pointer to any   of the members of that union at runtime
	  (although the compiler will	complain about the function headers
	  being inconsistent), so even	 though the wireless subsystem will
	  pass a iwreq_data to our   iw_handlers, inside the handlers, we
	  can treat the pointer as a   iw_point or iw_param or whatever
	  inside.  - Changed all calls to the iw_handlers in the ioctl so
	  that the union   member is passed as the 3rd parameter, rather
	  than the union.  This   is done because in kernels < 2.4.20,
	  iw_req-> does not have a type.    (see above)

2004-03-07 20:41  njones

	* at76c503a/at76c503-fw_skel.c: - struct usb_bus->bus_name and
	  struct usb_device->devpath are not   present in kernels < 2.4.0,
	  changed to bus->busnum and dev->devnum

2004-03-07 20:33  njones

	* at76c503a/at76c503.h: - Only include iw_wireless.h if
	  WIRELESS_EXT > 12

2004-03-05 22:25  jal2

	* at76c503a/at76c505-rfmd2958.c: added new device: MSI MS6978 Wlan
	  Box PC2PC

2004-03-02 23:38  jal2

	* at76c503a/Makefile: added more files for distribution

2004-03-02 23:32  jal2

	* at76c503a/: Makefile, at76c505-rfmd2958.c: 0.12beta8, added
	  device Corega USB Stick 11 K.K.

2004-03-02 19:27  njones

	* at76c503a/at76c503.c: -Fixed a pointer arithmetic bug in
	  iwspy_update.  I was only able to spot  this when compiling under
	  a 2.4.20 kernel.  Perhaps this is due to less  sensitive compiler
	  flags used for 2.6 kbuilds -Used macros to hide calls to the
	  kernel thrspy functions, when those  functions are not present
	  -Removed the NULL entry in the table of private iw_handlers.
	  This was  not clever at all because with the NULL entry, the
	  table of handlers did  not match the table of arguments to the
	  handlers.  -Added a SIOCGIWTXPOW entry to the ioctl switch
	  statement, with  corresponding iw_handler call -Fixed silly typo
	  in SIOCGIWRETRY

2004-03-02 19:13  njones

	* at76c503a/at76c503.h: -Removed PRIV_IOCTL_SET_AUTH_MODE macro and
	  moved all of the following  PRIV_IOCTL_ macros 'up by 0x1'

2004-03-01 18:41  njones

	* at76c503a/at76c503.c: -Re-arranged some comments.  The comment in
	  SIOGIWSPY displays the number of  entries AFTER the list has been
	  parsed, rather than before, which makes  much more sense -ioctl
	  function is now handed to the net device in all cases.  It will
	  be  up to the wireless subsystem to decide whether to use the iw
	  handlers or  the ioctls, which of course, it is designed to do.

2004-03-01 00:58  jal2

	* at76c503a/at76c503.c: - iw_handler: added txpower (15 dBm) in
	  RANGE and SIOCGIWTXPOW (to get rid   of some error msg by "iwlist
	  XXX txpower" - fixed bug in "iwpriv wlan0 set_debug" - "iwlist
	  XXX scanning": report more than 8 bitrates from an access point

2004-02-29 23:20  jal2

	* at76c503a/at76c503.c: - fixed bug in dbg(DBG_RX_BEACON, ...) -
	  added rssi/link qual (Intersil only), bit rate output for iwlist
	  X scanning

2004-02-29 20:32  njones

	* at76c503a/at76c503.c: Fixed up an oversight in handle_scan that
	  caused the driver to become useless because it halted after a
	  scan.

	  Left some debugging code in rx_mgmt_beacon.

	  SIOCSIWSCAN now returns the mode of each AP and an encryption
	  enabled flag.

	  When setting up the netdevice, we enable either iw_handlers or
	  ioctls, but not both.

2004-02-28 18:10  njones

	* at76c503a/at76c503.c: Moved the process of doing the scan out of
	  the _SCAN Kevent, and placed it in it's own function.  This
	  function can now be called with flexibility from the scan
	  iw_handler.

	  Scan set and get iw_handlers implemented to a basic level (it
	  compiles).  Added these functions to the table of standard
	  iw_handlers and to the switch in the ioctl.

	  Some statistics about the beacons cannot be retrieved because
	  this driver in it's current implementation doesn't keep those
	  statistics.  In future, I will look at how we can obtain and
	  store that extra information in the bss_info structure.  Also,
	  thought needs to be given to whether the scan will stay
	  synchronous, as it is now, or whether we will use a kevent.

2004-02-27 20:06  njones

	* at76c503a/at76c503.c: Placed locks around sections where spy data
	  is updated.

	  Streamlined the versioning of the spy iw_handlers and the spy
	  code in iwspy_update

2004-02-27 20:03  njones

	* at76c503a/at76c503.h: Added a spinlock to protect the spy
	  structures in struct at76c503

2004-02-26 19:55  njones

	* at76c503a/at76c503.c: General improvements to separation of spy
	  related functionality based on the version of wireless extensions
	  available at compile time.

	  In particular, the messy #if's in the table of standard
	  iw_handler table have all been removed from this location and
	  moved to inside the iw handlers.

	  This makes things a bit cleaner.

	  Added implementation of spy statistics recording for WIRELESS_EXT
	  > 15 in the iwspy_update function

2004-02-26 19:48  njones

	* at76c503a/at76c503.h: Improved the separation of spy related
	  members of struct at76c503.  Separation is based on the version
	  of wireless extensions available

	  retry_limit values are passed to the device in startup_device

2004-02-24 20:01  njones

	* at76c503a/at76c503.c: Added public and private iw_handler tables.
	  Added iw_handler_def structure.  Removed references to STATS
	  ioctls, as stats are retrieved through the netdev with
	  get_wireless_stats

2004-02-24 19:57  njones

	* at76c503a/at76c503.h: Added #include for iw_handler.h, added new
	  member: spy_data (a iw_spy_data struct) to the at76c03 struct

2004-02-23 19:10  njones
