wl1251: move to it's own directory

2010-10-11T19:04:23+00:00

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.

wl12xx: fix separate-object-folder builds

2010-09-28T14:52:26+00:00

Make this go away (happens when building with a separate object
directory):

Assembler messages:

wl12xx: add platform data passing support

2010-09-21T15:04:57+00:00

Add a simple mechanism to pass platform data to the
SDIO instances of wl12xx.

This way there is no confusion over who owns the 'embedded data',
typechecking is preserved, and no possibility for the wrong driver to
pick up the data.

Originally proposed by Russell King.

netwave: move driver to staging

2009-10-30T20:50:34+00:00

Move the netwave driver to drivers/staging.  This is another pre-802.11
driver that has seen virtually no non-API-fixup activity in years, and
for which no active hardware is likely to still exist.  This driver
represents unnecessary ongoing maintenance for no clear benefit.

This patch brought to you by the "hacking" session at the 2009 Kernel
Summit in Tokyo, Japan...

strip: move driver to staging

2009-10-30T20:50:33+00:00

Move the strip ("Starmode Radio IP") driver to drivers/staging.  For
several years this driver has only seen API "bombing-run" changes, and
few people ever had the hardware.  This driver represents unnecessary
ongoing maintenance for no clear benefit.

iwmc3200wifi: Add new Intel Wireless Multicomm 802.11 driver

2009-05-22T18:06:02+00:00

This driver supports Intel's full MAC wireless multicomm 802.11 hardware.
Although the hardware is a 802.11agn device, we currently only support
802.11ag, in managed and ad-hoc mode (no AP mode for now).

wl12xx: add driver

2009-05-06T19:14:54+00:00

wl12xx is a driver for TI wl1251 802.11 chipset designed for embedded
devices, supporting both SDIO and SPI busses. Currently the driver
supports only SPI. Adding support 1253 (the 5 GHz version) should be
relatively easy. More information here:
