1965c85331 nl80211: Add event for authentication/association timeout
SME needs to be notified when the authentication or association
attempt times out and MLME has stopped processing in order to allow
the SME to decide what to do next.

04a773ade0 cfg80211/nl80211: add IBSS API
This adds IBSS API along with (preliminary) wext handlers.
The wext handlers can only do IBSS so you need to call them
from your own wext handlers if the mode is IBSS.

The nl80211 API requires
 * an SSID
 * a channel (frequency) for the case that a new IBSS
   has to be created

It optionally supports
 * a flag to fix the channel
 * a fixed BSSID

The cfg80211 code also takes care to leave the IBSS before
the netdev is set down. If wireless extensions are used, it
also caches values when the interface is down and instructs
the driver to join when the interface is set up.

6bad876662 cfg80211: send regulatory beacon hint events to userspace
This informs userspace when a change has occured on a world
roaming wiphy's channel which has lifted some restrictions
due to a regulatory beacon hint.

Because this is now sent to userspace through the regulatory
multicast group we remove the debug prints we used to use as
they are no longer necessary.

a3b8b0569f nl80211: Add Michael MIC failure event
Define a new nl80211 event, NL80211_CMD_MICHAEL_MIC_FAILURE, to be
used to notify user space about locally detected Michael MIC failures.
This matches with the MLME-MICHAELMICFAILURE.indication() primitive.

Since we do not actually have TSC in the skb anymore when
mac80211_ev_michael_mic_failure() is called, that function is changed
to take in the TSC as an optional parameter instead of as a
requirement to include the TSC after the hdr field (which we did not
really follow). For now, TSC is not included in the events from
mac80211, but it could be added at some point.

53b46b8444 nl80211: Generate deauth/disassoc event for locally generated frames
Previously, nl80211 mlme events were generated only for received
deauthentication and disassociation frames. We need to do the same for
locally generated ones in order to let applications know that we
disconnected (e.g., when AP does not reply to a probe). Rename the
nl80211 and cfg80211 functions (s/rx_//) to make it clearer that they
are used for both received and locally generated frames.

6039f6d23f nl80211: Event notifications for MLME events
Add new nl80211 event notifications (and a new multicast group, "mlme")
for informing user space about received and processed Authentication,
(Re)Association Response, Deauthentication, and Disassociation frames in
station and IBSS modes (i.e., MLME SAP interface primitives
MLME-AUTHENTICATE.confirm, MLME-ASSOCIATE.confirm,
MLME-REASSOCIATE.confirm, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.indicate, and
MLME-DISASSOCIATE.indication). The event data is encapsulated as the 802.11
management frame since we already have the frame in that format and it
includes all the needed information.

This is the initial step in providing MLME SAP interface for
authentication and association with nl80211. In other words, kernel code
will act as the MLME and a user space application can control it as the
SME.

633e24ed95 cfg80211/nl80211: remove usage of CONFIG_NL80211
The scan capability added to cfg80211/nl80211 introduced a
dependency on nl80211 by cfg80211. We can thus no longer have
just cfg80211 without nl80211. Specifically, cfg80211_scan_done()
calls nl80211_send_scan_aborted() or nl80211_send_scan_done().

Now we remove the option for user to select nl80211. It will always
be compiled if user selects cfg80211.

73d54c9e74 cfg80211: add regulatory netlink multicast group
This allows us to send to userspace "regulatory" events.
For now we just send an event when we change regulatory domains.
We also notify userspace when devices are using their own custom
world roaming regulatory domains.

2a51931192 cfg80211/nl80211: scanning (and mac80211 update to use it)
This patch adds basic scan capability to cfg80211/nl80211 and
changes mac80211 to use it. The BSS list that cfg80211 maintains
is made driver-accessible with a private area in each BSS struct,
but mac80211 doesn't yet use it. That's another large project.
