At last, it's out.

ftp://ftp.linux-wlan.org/pub/linux-wlan-ng/linux-wlan-ng-0.1.15.tar.gz

One fix since 0.1.15-pre8. If you have a slightly inconsistent PCMCIA
build, the Configure script would not do the right thing.

Hopefully the various package maintainers will have RPMs/debs/whatever
built soon for those of you that are afraid of compiling from source.
However, this release is far more intelligent in auto-magically picking
up the build environment which means it should "just work" for the
majority of the cases.

Full changelog below.

0.1.15
  - Fix an obscure PCMCIA build problem. (modversions disabled but
    header present, and using non-kernel pcmcia)
-pre8
  - Added code to optionally truncate packets in monitor mode. (Clay Jones)
  - Fix a polarity problem with the stripfcs argument to monitor mode.
  - Add a test to make sure wireless.h is included.
  - Netgear MA401A card ident.
  - Further cleanups of the build system (Makefiles)
-pre7
  - Include wireless.h so wireless extensions work again. :)
  - Work around the braindead RedHat kernel build system.
  - Fix a class of unaligned accesses in the message structures
    (kernel driver) and user space parsers (wlanctl-ng, etc)
  - Fix an unpacked struct problem that affected ARM platforms
    (thanks to Clay Jones for spotting this one)
-pre6
  - Support the new auto-unknown mode present in firmware >1.3.3
    When issuing an autojoin, we try to join a BSS, then an IBSS, and if
    all fails, we create a new IBSS with the given parameters.
        *note* currently disabled.
  - Updates to hfa384x.h to reflect latest documentation
  - Build system mini-enema. Automagically detect kernel version,
    pcmcia status, and modversions. Pick up the kernel compile flags.
  - Hopefully fixed the 'crash on unload' for 2.2.x kernels and PCI.
  - 'p2req_join' command, see doc/wlanctl-ng.p2req_join.txt
    This lets you join a specific SSID. Thanks to Clay Jones.
  - A couple more pcmcia/cf card idents
  - More deletions/fixes in wlan_compat.h
-pre5
  - Due to new hotplug code, atmel device detection removed
  - Further cleanups in wlan_compat.h and non-kernel makefiles
  - Debian package stuff yanked in favor of the "official" deb packages
  - Rearranged the wireless extension support code a bit
  - A fix for the promisc/allmulti stuff on USB devices
-pre4
  - Hotplug support for PCI/PLX/USB widgets
  - A compile fix for 2.2.x (x < 18) kernels and PCI adapters
  - Support for TMD7160-based "almost but not quite PLX" boards
  - HP-PA support. In theory. Anyone care to test?
  - pcmcia script cleanups
  - Add ident info for the "Intel PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN USB Device"
  - Include an almost-sane fix to the modversion madness
  - Tweak the init order of the PCI driver structs
-pre3
  - Added ident info for ASUS WL-110/WL-100 cards
  - Support for PCI power managment
  - Fixed a wep hang on the transmit side
  - Compile fixes; mainly for 2.2 kernels
  - Add support for the SIOCGIWRATE wireless extension
-pre2
  - Restructured the driver locking. SMP should be MUCH better now.
  - Stripped out more dead code. (mainly FID_STACK)
  - Fix an skb access after we call netif_rx
  - Fixes for XScale CPUs.
  - Added added a MiniUSB ident info
  - Restructure of the docmd_* functions
-pre1
  - Host-based WEP decryption and encryption
  - Partial rewrite of copy_to_bap.
  - Debian package metadata updated to 3.0-STABLE. (David Everley)
  - Stripped out a lot of crap from wlan_compat.h
  - More atmel adapters added to the USB exclude list.
  - James Goodwin's patch to fix a bug in the 80211conv code.
  - The 3COM AirConnect board is a PLX adapter.
