374fdfbc67 introduce WEXT scan capabilities
Introduce scan capabilities to WEXT so that userspace can do intelligent
things with scan behavior such as handling hidden SSIDs more gracefully.
If the driver reports a specific scan capability, the driver must
respect the options specified in the iw_scan_req structure when handling
the SIOCSIWSCAN call, unless it's mode or state does not allow it to do
so, in which case it must return an error.

This version switches to Dave Kilroy's suggestion of claiming unused
padding space for the scan_capa field.

85d32e7b0e [PATCH] Update my email address from jkmaline@cc.hut.fi to j@w1.fi
After 13 years of use, it looks like my email address is finally going
to disappear. While this is likely to drop the amount of incoming spam
greatly ;-), it may also affect more appropriate messages, so let's
update my email address in various places. In addition, Host AP mailing
list is subscribers-only and linux-wireless can also be used for
discussing issues related to this driver which is now shown in
MAINTAINERS.

c2805fbb86 [PATCH] WE-22 : prevent information leak on 64 bit
Johannes Berg discovered that kernel space was leaking to
userspace on 64 bit platform. He made a first patch to fix that. This
is an improved version of his patch.

baef186519 [PATCH] WE-21 support (core API)
This is version 21 of the Wireless Extensions. Changelog :
	o finishes migrating the ESSID API (remove the +1)
	o netdev->get_wireless_stats is no more
	o long/short retry

This is a redacted version of a patch originally submitted by Jean
Tourrilhes.  I removed most of the additions, in order to minimize
future support requirements for nl80211 (or other WE successor).

711e2c33ac [PATCH] WE-20 for kernel 2.6.16
This is version 20 of the Wireless Extensions. This is the
completion of the RtNetlink work I started early 2004, it enables the
full Wireless Extension API over RtNetlink.

	Few comments on the patch :
	o totally driver transparent, no change in drivers needed.
	o iwevent were already RtNetlink based since they were created
(around 2.5.7). This adds all the regular SET and GET requests over
RtNetlink, using the exact same mechanism and data format as iwevents.
	o This is a Kconfig option, as currently most people have no
need for it. Surprisingly, patch is actually small and well
encapsulated.
	o Tested on SMP, attention as been paid to make it 64 bits clean.
	o Code do probably too many checks and could be further
optimised, but better safe than sorry.
	o RtNetlink based version of the Wireless Tools available on
my web page for people inclined to try out this stuff.

	I would also like to thank Alexey Kuznetsov for his helpful
suggestions to make this patch better.

6582c164f2 [PATCH] WE-19 for kernel 2.6.13
Hi Jeff,

	This is version 19 of the Wireless Extensions. It was supposed
to be the fallback of the WPA API changes, but people seem quite happy
about it (especially Jouni), so the patch is rather small.
	The patch has been fully tested with 2.6.13 and various
wireless drivers, and is in its final version. Would you mind pushing
that into Linus's kernel so that the driver and the apps can take
advantage ot it ?

	It includes :
	o iwstat improvement (explicit dBm). This is the result of
long discussions with Dan Williams, the authors of
NetworkManager. Thanks to him for all the fruitful feedback.
	o remove pointer from event stream. I was not totally sure if
this pointer was 32-64 bits clean, so I'd rather remove it and be at
peace with it.
	o remove linux header from wireless.h. This has long been
requested by people writting user space apps, now it's done, and it
was not even painful.
	o final deprecation of spy_offset. You did not like it, it's
now gone for good.
	o Start deprecating dev->get_wireless_stats -> debloat netdev
	o Add "check" version of event macros for ieee802.11
stack. Jiri Benc doesn't like the current macros, we aim to please ;-)
	All those changes, except the last one, have been bit-roting on
my web pages for a while...

	Patches for most kernel drivers will follow. Patches for the
Orinoco and the HostAP drivers have been sent to their respective
maintainers.

	Have fun...

	Jean

fff9cfd99c [PATCH] Wireless Extensions 18 (aka WPA)
This is version 18 of the Wireless Extensions. The main change
  is that it adds all the necessary APIs for WPA and WPA2 support. This
  work was entirely done by Jouni Malinen, so let's thank him for both
  his hard work and deep expertise on the subject ;-)
        This APIs obviously doesn't do much by itself and works in
  concert with driver support (Jouni already sent you the HostAP
  changes) and userspace (Jouni is updating wpa_supplicant). This is
  also orthogonal with the ongoing work on in-kernel IEEE support (but
  potentially useful).
        The patch is attached, tested with 2.6.11. Normally, I would
  ask you to push that directly in the kernel (99% of the patch has been
  on my web page for ages and it does not affect non-WPA stuff), but
  Jouni convinced me that it should bake a few weeks in wireless-2.6
  first, so that other driver maintainers can get up to speed with it.

Linus Torvalds
1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
