Dan Williams 7345137930 [PATCH] wireless/atmel: fix Open System authentication process bugs
This patch fixes a number of bugs in the authentication process:

1) When falling back to Shared Key authentication mode from Open System,
a missing 'return' would cause the auth request to be sent, but would
drop the card into Management Error state.  When falling back, the
driver should also indicate that it is switching to Shared Key mode by
setting exclude_unencrypted.

2) Initial authentication modes were apparently wrong in some cases,
causing the driver to attempt Shared Key authentication mode when in
fact the access point didn't support that mode or even had WEP disabled.
The driver should set the correct initial authentication mode based on
wep_is_on and exclude_unencrypted.

3) Authentication response packets from the access point in Open System
mode were getting ignored because the driver was expecting the sequence
number of a Shared Key mode response.  The patch separates the OS and SK
mode handling to provide the correct behavior.

	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 :

	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...
