It's time for another -pre to start the ball rolling again.

So, what's new.. a small pile of bugfixes, a locking rearrangement that
should be functionally neutral (unless I missed something..), but the
biggest change is the addition of kernel 2.5 support. prism2_usb does
not currently compile with 2.5, but everything else should be okay.

That said, there are known problems with this release:

0) Obscure oops-on-module-unload bug that I haven't been able to sort
   out yet. It may just be my laptop's heavily patched kernel.
1) 2.5 support is in flux, as indeed the kernel itself is. You'll need
   to use at least 2.5.64, and who knows if stuff newer than 2.5.66 will
   work. :)
2) prism2_usb doesn't compile with 2.5; this will take some work due to
   API changes.
3) Host Authentication/Association 'setconfig' happens in interrupt
   context. This needs to be deferred, much like the linkstatus
   notification.

Feedback and/or patches welcome.

Full changelog follows:

-pre1
  - Header updates.
  - Add a card ident for the USR 1120 USB widget (Juan Conde)
  - Cleaner shutdown; fixed a possible leak and a race condition.
  - Another rearrangement of the command locks, to eliminate use of the
    spin_is_locked() call.
  - Fix a rare deadlock with cmd_initialize (Pavel Roskin)
  - Add a Lucent-compatible key-generator in add-ons/lwepgen
  - Fix a stack overflow problem. (Pavel Roskin)
  - Further monitor mode fix for control frames (Pavel Roskin)
  - Cleanups in the dependency generation code
  - Initial 2.5 support. USB currently broken.
  - Minor build system cleanups.
