* Fixed #627 problem with open APs not working with wpa_supplicant * Fixed #632 problem with 'txpower auto' setting power incorrectly (thanks to Kai Groner) * Fixed #634 problem with 'iwconfig eth1 frag 0' hanging the shell * Fixed problem with adapter not fully powering off during suspend to RAM or when module unloaded. * Fixed #645 problem with turning fixed rates off not taking effect until you reload the driver * Fixed problem with firmware restart if wpa_supplicant was used to set a key that wasn't exactly 5 or 13 bytes in length. * Fixed #623 Added iwpriv sw_reset extension to reset sw parameters * Added managment frame export to user space with frame statistics * Fixed #652 Modified the driver to load the EEPROM data even if RF KILL is active during driver load * Global s:CX2_:IPW_:g to make code more consistent * Fixed #572 problem with setting txpower to auto * Fixed #656 problem with kernel oops if mode auto; modprobe -r ipw2200 * Added QoS (CONFIG_IPW_QOS) support. This is being actively developed but is the first step in getting WMM support into the driver and the kernel. * Fixed some race conditions with channel changes, association, and scan abort that could periodically cause a firmware restart. * Added some extensions to export scan and network statistics to user space (exposed through speed_scan and net_stats sysfs entries) * Fixed a few bugs in how monitor mode was supported (scan lists weren't quite right) * Updated the firmware requirement from 2.2 to 2.3 which supports monitor mode.

README ------ This directory is mostly for Wireless LAN drivers, in their various incarnations (ISA, PCI, Pcmcia...). This separate directory is needed because a lot of driver work on different bus (typically PCI + Pcmcia) and share 95% of the code. This allow the code and the config options to be in one single place instead of scattered all over the driver tree, which is never 100% satisfactory. Note : if you want more info on the topic of Wireless LANs, you are kindly invited to have a look at the Wireless Howto : http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ Some Wireless LAN drivers, like orinoco_cs, require the use of Wireless Tools to be configured : http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html Special notes for distribution maintainers : 1) wvlan_cs will be discontinued soon in favor of orinoco_cs 2) Please add Wireless Tools support in your scripts Have fun...
