Mostly accumulated bugfixes since the last release. Aiming to stabilize
the last round of changes before new stuff can proceed. :)

Hotplug scripts now work, though they could still use some improvement,
especially integration with the net.agent.

The only new feature is support for a new (considerably more useful)
capture header in monitor mode. (Toggleable; the old one is still
present) An ethereal dissector is pending. see doc/capturefrm.txt for
details.

-pre6
  - Further script enhancements; automatically use scan mode on hardware
    that is known to support it properly.
  - Fixed errors in the hotplug script, and other misc fixes.
  - 2.2.x fixes for the new proc stuff and deferred processing stuff.
  - Add support for the new sniff frame capture. (doc/capturefrm.txt)
  - Get rid of some bitrot with the sniffing code.
  - Populate the tx dropped frames statistics.
-pre5
  - Fixes for host scan when not currently joined.
  - /proc support; some informational stuff is kept in /proc/wlandev/wlanX
  - Complete rewrite of the configuration files and startup scripts.
     hotplug(pci+usb), pcmcia, rc, everything uses same config file(s).
     per-network configuration
     supports scanning and automatically choosing a network from a set.
  - Fix the TMD7160/ncp130 support so it acually works. :)
  - Make the BUG() call in cmd_access enabled only in debug builds.
  - Minor makefile fixes.
  - Microsoft MN520 PCMCIA ident info added.
  - p2cnfShortPreamble is not a boolean value. (Clay Jones)
-pre4
  - BAP access fixes for PCI platforms. This mostly affects SMP
    arrangements.
  - Back out W200 USB ident info; it's not prism-based.
  - Patch from Tom Prado to make 'keygen' more user-friendly.
  - bap_timeout parameter only valid on non-usb platforms
-pre3
  - Added Ident info for the USB Compaq/Intel W200 widget
  - dot11req_scan requires firmware >=1.3.2.
  - Added the "Acer Warplink USB Adapter" id.
  - Rework the prism2sta_inf_linkstatus call to defer processing of
    results until outside interrupt context. Should fix the SMP
    deadlocks seen on some machines.
  - Rework the usb_disconnect code to hopefully alleviate the occasional
    crash-on-disconnect some people see. Solution is not SMP-safe yet.
  - Add the D-Link DCF-660W ident info.
-pre2
  - New parameter, 'prism2_bap_timeout' to specify the timeout on
    bap setup. timeout*10 == timeout in microseconds. Note that this
    timeout occurs in spinlock context, so increasing it arbitrarily is
    BAD! Defaults to 1000, ie 10000us.
  - compile fix for prism2sta in debug mode.
  - Only prompt for pcmcia sources if we're using non-kernel pcmcia.
    (original patch by Beat Bolli, rewritten a bit..)
  - Add the Linksys WCF12 CF ident info.
  - A bunch of compile fixes for older versions of wireless extensions.
  - Added implementations of GIWTXPOWER and GIWRETRY
  - Some fixes to the wireless extension code (thanks to Jean Tourrilhes)
-pre1
  - wland was incorrectly using kernel headers in its compile.
  - Adhoc mode was auto-roaming onto "any" SSID. Fixed.
  - Implemented the dot11req_scan & dot11req_scan_results functions.
      This, combined with more intelligent startup scripts, will allow
      you per-network profiles. Scripts are unwritten as yet. :)
  - hfa384x.h and MIB updates.
  - Rewrote the wireless extension support code; moved to p80211 layer.
      Now we're compatible with at least v6-v14, and everything
      inbetween. We hook up to the new iw_request structure, which
      makes further wireless extension support much easier to add.
  - Add the Microsoft MN510 USB device ID.
  - Finally fix the 'crash on unload' problem for 2.2.x kernels with PCI.
    Turns out the kcompat24 code wasn't quite complete. (Matthew Rush)
  - Cleaned up our usage of __FUNCTION__ to make gcc 3.x happy.
  - Fix a typo in the prism2 makefile.

 - Pizza
