/************************** DOCUMENTATION ***************************/
/*
 * This driver provides a Linux interface to the WaveLAN ISA hardware.
 * The WaveLAN is a product of Lucent (http://www.wavelan.com/).
 * This division was formerly part of NCR and then AT&T.
 * WaveLANs are also distributed by DEC (RoamAbout DS) and Digital Ocean.
 *
 * To learn how to use this driver, read the NET3 HOWTO.
 * If you want to exploit the many other functionalities, read the comments
 * in the code.
 *
 * This driver is the result of the effort of many people (see below).
 */

/* ------------------------ SPECIFIC NOTES ------------------------ */
/*
 * Web page
 * --------
 *	I try to maintain a web page with the Wireless LAN Howto at :
 *	    http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Wavelan.html
 *
 * SMP
 * ---
 *	We now are SMP compliant (I eventually fixed the remaining bugs).
 *	The driver has been tested on a dual P6-150 and survived my usual
 *	set of torture tests.
 *	Anyway, I spent enough time chasing interrupt re-entrancy during
 *	errors or reconfigure, and I designed the locked/unlocked sections
 *	of the driver with great care, and with the recent addition of
 *	the spinlock (thanks to the new API), we should be quite close to
 *	the truth.
 *	The SMP/IRQ locking is quite coarse and conservative (i.e. not fast),
 *	but better safe than sorry (especially at 2 Mb/s ;-).
 *
 *	I have also looked into disabling only our interrupt on the card
 *	(via HACR) instead of all interrupts in the processor (via cli),
 *	so that other driver are not impacted, and it look like it's
 *	possible, but it's very tricky to do right (full of races). As
 *	the gain would be mostly for SMP systems, it can wait...
 *
 * Debugging and options
 * ---------------------
 *	You will find below a set of '#define" allowing a very fine control
 *	on the driver behaviour and the debug messages printed.
 *	The main options are :
 *	o SET_PSA_CRC, to have your card correctly recognised by
 *	  an access point and the Point-to-Point diagnostic tool.
 *	o USE_PSA_CONFIG, to read configuration from the PSA (EEprom)
 *	  (otherwise we always start afresh with some defaults)
 *
 * wavelan.o is too darned big
 * ---------------------------
 *	That's true!  There is a very simple way to reduce the driver
 *	object by 33%!  Comment out the following line:
 *		#include <linux/wireless.h>
 *	Other compile options can also reduce the size of it...
 *
 * MAC address and hardware detection:
 * -----------------------------------
 *	The detection code for the WaveLAN checks that the first three
 *	octets of the MAC address fit the company code.  This type of
 *	detection works well for AT&T cards (because the AT&T code is
 *	hardcoded in wavelan.h), but of course will fail for other
 *	manufacturers.
 *
 *	If you are sure that your card is derived from the WaveLAN,
 *	here is the way to configure it:
 *	1) Get your MAC address
 *		a) With your card utilities (wfreqsel, instconf, etc.)
 *		b) With the driver:
 *			o compile the kernel with DEBUG_CONFIG_INFO enabled
 *			o Boot and look the card messages
 *	2) Set your MAC code (3 octets) in MAC_ADDRESSES[][3] (wavelan.h)
 *	3) Compile and verify
 *	4) Send me the MAC code.  I will include it in the next version.
 *
 */

/* --------------------- WIRELESS EXTENSIONS --------------------- */
/*
 * This driver is the first to support "wireless extensions".
 * This set of extensions provides a standard way to control the wireless
 * characteristics of the hardware.  Applications such as mobile IP may
 * take advantage of it.
 *
 * You will need to enable the CONFIG_NET_RADIO define in the kernel
 * configuration to enable the wireless extensions (this is the one
 * giving access to the radio network device choice).
 *
 * It might also be a good idea as well to fetch the wireless tools to
 * configure the device and play a bit.

/* --------------------------- HISTORY --------------------------- */
/*
 * This is based on information in the drivers' headers. It may not be
 * accurate, and I guarantee only my best effort.
 *
 * The history of the WaveLAN drivers is as complicated as the history of
 * the WaveLAN itself (NCR -> AT&T -> Lucent).
 *
 * It all started with Anders Klemets <[e-mail]>
 * writing a WaveLAN ISA driver for the Mach microkernel.  Girish
 * Welling <[e-mail]> had also worked on it.
 * Keith Moore modified this for the PCMCIA hardware.
 * 
 * Robert Morris <[e-mail]> ported these two drivers to BSDI
 * and added specific PCMCIA support (there is currently no equivalent
 * of the PCMCIA package under BSD).
 *
 * Jim Binkley <[e-mail]> ported both BSDI drivers to FreeBSD.
 *
 * Bruce Janson <[e-mail]> ported the BSDI ISA driver to Linux.
 *
 * Anthony D. Joseph <[e-mail]> started to modify Bruce's driver
 * (with help of the BSDI PCMCIA driver) for PCMCIA.
 * Yunzhou Li <[e-mail]> finished this work.
 * Joe Finney <[e-mail]> patched the driver to start
 * 2.00 cards correctly (2.4 GHz with frequency selection).
 * David Hinds <[e-mail]> integrated the whole in his
 * PCMCIA package (and bug corrections).
 *
 * I (Jean Tourrilhes - [e-mail]) then started to make some
 * patches to the PCMCIA driver.  Later, I added code in the ISA driver
 * for Wireless Extensions and full support of frequency selection
 * cards.  Then, I did the same to the PCMCIA driver, and did some
 * reorganisation.  Finally, I came back to the ISA driver to
 * upgrade it at the same level as the PCMCIA one and reorganise
 * the code.
 * Loeke Brederveld <[e-mail]> from Lucent has given me
 * much needed information on the WaveLAN hardware.
