This time from work done by Heiko Kirschke, and also do some
simplification wrt access to ->addr4 in tx headers, i.e. use
offsetoff and do just one wl3501_set_to_wla in wl3501_send_pkt.

Information collected from another driver source found on the net
for this hardware, written by magyver@zcom.com.tw, that I'm
reading to find more information about this hardware, coalescing
several efforts to have a driver for this card.

Now the sensitivity information in iwconfig is dinamically
updated.

With this we can finally select in a sane way the channel to use,
selectable thru wireless extensions/iwconfig interface freq nr_channel
:-)

. The real BSSID is after the first two bytes, that is why this->bssid
  has 34 chars when IW_ESSID_MAX_SIZE is just 32...
. Include some debug, selectable with the pc_debug kernel module
  parameter, that is turned off by default.

This will require further study and probably to include the MIB stuff
in the original driver.

For now returning a fixed rate of 2 Mbit/s, that is by far
the most common for this thing, but perhaps this card can
work at 1 Mbit/s and so I have to find out from were to get
this info, without documentation coding drivers is, humm,
"fun" :-\

. check if queue was stopped when receiving interrupt tx confirmation,
  prior to calling netif_wake_queue.
. stop the queue processing if there is less than 2 tx blocks in the
  card, with this I get no drops in pktgen, whee! 8)

This table was obtained from the Planet WAP 1000 Access Point web
interface, accessing it over this driver after I ran nmap against
the AP box that is now only with the wireless interface, i.e. all
accesses to it are over this driver :-)

Also reorganize wl3501_card struct a bit to avoid wasting some
bytes.

This time get_sense and set_wap wireless extensions were added,
work in progress, ya know 8)

. check if the device is present, bail out if not
. move the buffer to the place where it is used
. check the size of the firmware buffer passed from userspace
. make wl3501_write_flash return -EIO on failure, 0 on success

It will, but is not supporting now, just some basic skeleton is
in place.

. use enun instead of tons of #defines
. put the initial smp locking, still commented out
. use some defines for magic numbers
. break the rx_interrupt routine in multiple inlines for each signal
  type
. CodingStyle cleanups
. Activated the stupid loop, will now try without it, works? kill this
  stupidity

Move all the SCSI Kconfig bits from arch/*/Kconfig into driver/scsi/Kconfig.
Also add notes about FireWire & USB.

 - Fix geometry reporting.
 - Avoid endless loop when deleting a Virtual Unit Chain.

Last November Linus applied a patch to remove the now-unused
*_segments() functions from all architectures ...  but some of the newer
architectures escaped and still have them.

As discussed earlier. The 64bit epoll ABI on AMD64 is changed to
match 32bit. This way we avoid emulation overhead.

To catch old binaries I allocate new syscall slots.

Without this patch ACPI won't compile on AMD64 because of mismatched prototypes.

Andrew stated that this is the way he wants it to be fixed.

Bring the x86-64 architecture code uptodate for 2.5.73.

One problem is that CONFIG_IDE_TASKFILE corrupts file systems on AMD 8111. It
may be worth to disable it in the configuration.

 - Disable 32bit vsyscalls for now until all bugs can be fixed
 - Fix warnings
 - Fix NULL pointer reference in 32bit ptrace
 - Timing fixes from John Stultz
 - Sync show_stack prototype
 - Sync nmi and floppy.h code (Mikael P.)
 - Set proper defines for AGP
 - Make Simics work again
 - Scale unit in 32bit sysinfo (originally from ppc64)
