      New driver: rtl8xxxu (mac80211) · 26f1fad2
      Jes Sorensen authored
      This is an alternate driver for a number of Realtek WiFi USB devices,
      including RTL8723AU, RTL8188CU, RTL8188RU, RTL8191CU, and RTL8192CU.
      It was written from scratch utilizing the Linux mac80211 stack.
      
      After spending months cleaning up the vendor provided rtl8723au
      driver, which comes with it's own 802.11 stack included, I decided to
      rewrite this driver from the bottom up.
      
      Many thanks to Johannes Berg for 802.11 insights and help and Larry
      Finger for help with the vendor driver.
      
      The full git log for the development of this driver can be found here:
      git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jes/linux.git
      
      
          branch rtl8723au-mac80211
      
      This driver is still under development, but has proven to be very
      stable for me. It currently supports station mode only. It has support
      for OFDM and CCK rates. It does lack certain features found in the
      staging driver, such as power management, AMPDU, and 40MHz channel
      support. In addition it does not support AD-HOC, AP, and monitor mode
      support at this point.
      
      The driver is known to work with the following devices:
      Lenovo Yoga (rtl8723au)
      TP-Link TL-WN823N (rtl8192cu)
      Etekcity 6R (rtl8188cu)
      Daffodil LAN03 (rtl8188cu)
      Alfa AWUS036NHR (rtl8188ru)

      add mt7601u driver · c869f77d
      Jakub Kicinski authored
      Add support for the simplest of MediaTek Wi-Fi devices - MT7601U.
      It is a single stream bgn chip with no bells or whistles.
      This driver is partially based on Felix's mt76 but IMHO it doesn't
      make sense to merge the two right now because MT7601U is a design
      somewhere between old Ralink devices and new Mediatek chips.  There
      wouldn't be all that much code sharing with the devices mt76 supports.
      Situation may obviously change when someone decides to extend m76 with
      support for the more recent USB dongles.
      
      The driver supports only station mode.  I'm hoping to add AP support
      when time allows.
      
      This driver sat on GitHub for quite a while and got some testing there:

      wl1251: move to it's own directory · 9bc6772e
      Kalle Valo authored
      
      wl1271 driver is under heavy development but on the other hand the older
      wl1251 driver is currently considered more as a legacy driver. To make it
      easier to develop wl1271 features move wl1251 to it's own directory,
      drivers/net/wireless/wl1251.
      
      There are no functional changes, only moving of files. One regression
      is that Kconfig won't be updated automatically and user needs to enable
      wl1251 manually with an older config file.

      wireless: airo_cs build fixes · 2bf9fa69
      Randy Dunlap authored
      
      When WEXT_PRIV is not enabled, airo_cs has build errors.
      It needs to include net/iw_handler.h and it should select
      WEXT_PRIV, like the airo driver does.

      wireless: mark prism54 as deprecated and mark for removal · 4d8cd268
      Luis R. Rodriguez authored
      
      The preferred module is p54pci which also supports FullMAC
      PCI / Cardbus devices. We schedule removal for 2.6.34. Reason
      to remove this is no one really is testing prism54 anymore,
      and while it works p54pci provides support for the same hardware.
      It should be noted I have been told some FullMAC devices may not
      have worked with the SoftMAC driver but to date we have yet to
      recieve a single bug report regarding this. If there are users
      out there please let us know!
