58e5528ee4 [PATCH] bcm43xx: init routine rewrite
Rewrite of the bcm43xx initialization routines.
This fixes several issues:
* up-down-up-down-up... stale data issue
  (May fix some DHCP issues)
* Fix the init vs IRQ handler race (and remove the workaround)
* Fix init for cards with multiple cores (APHY)
  As softmac has no internal PHY handling (unlike dscape),
  this adds the file "phymode" to sysfs.
  The active PHY can be selected by writing either a, b or g
  to this file. Current PHY can be determined by reading from it.
* Fix the controller restart code.
  Controller restart can now also be triggered through
  echo 1 > /debug/bcm43xx/ethX/restart

fc8fd3400b [PATCH] Convert bcm43xx-softmac to use the ieee80211_is_valid_channel routine
The current version of bcm43xx-softmac uses local routines to check
if a channel is valid. As noted in the comments, these routines do
not take any regulatory information into account. This patch converts
the code to use the equivalent routine in ieee80211, which is being
converted to know about regulatory information.

869aaab181 [PATCH] bcm43xx: Fix array overrun in bcm43xx_geo_init
The problem here is that the bcm34xx driver and the ieee80211
stack do not agree on what channels are possible for 802.11a.
The ieee80211 stack only wants channels between 34 and 165, while
the bcm43xx driver accepts anything from 0 to 200. I made the
bcm43xx driver comply with the ieee80211 stack expectations, by
using the proper constants.
