[NET]: Undo code bloat in hot paths due to print_mac().

2008-04-08T23:50:44+00:00

If print_mac() is used inside of a pr_debug() the compiler
can't see that the call is redundant so still performs it
even of pr_debug() ends up being a nop.

So don't use print_mac() in such cases in hot code paths,
use MAC_FMT et al. instead.

As noted by Joe Perches, pr_debug() could be modified to
handle this better, but that is a change to an interface
used by the entire kernel and thus needs to be validated
carefully.  This here is thus the less risky fix for
2.6.25

hostap_80211.h: remove duplicate prototype

2008-02-01T03:26:50+00:00

There were two identical prototypes for hostap_80211_rx() in
drivers/net/wireless/hostap/hostap_80211.h.

This patch fixes kernel Bugzilla #8930.

hostap_cs: don't match revisions in presense of the MAC chip name

2008-01-28T23:09:33+00:00

If the third PCMCIA ID string specifies the MAC chip, the fourth ID
string doesn't need to be matched.  Even if it's different, it will be
compatible with the driver.

This ensures that other different revisions of the card will be
supported.

[netdrvr] irq handler minor cleanups in several drivers

2008-01-28T23:03:40+00:00

* use irq_handler_t where appropriate

* no need to use 'irq' function arg, its already stored in a data struct

* rename irq handler 'irq' argument to 'dummy', where the function
  has been analyzed and proven not to use its first argument.

* remove always-false "dev_id == NULL" test from irq handlers

* remove pointless casts from void*

* declance: irq argument is not const

* add KERN_xxx printk prefix

* fix minor whitespace weirdness

introduce WEXT scan capabilities

2008-01-28T22:58:25+00:00

Introduce scan capabilities to WEXT so that userspace can do intelligent
things with scan behavior such as handling hidden SSIDs more gracefully.
If the driver reports a specific scan capability, the driver must
respect the options specified in the iw_scan_req structure when handling
the SIOCSIWSCAN call, unless it's mode or state does not allow it to do
so, in which case it must return an error.

This version switches to Dave Kilroy's suggestion of claiming unused
padding space for the scan_capa field.

hostap: section mismatch warning

2008-01-16T17:53:32+00:00

Fix section mismatch by changing variable name to match one of the
whitelisted (allowable) names for pointing into init data:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.data+0xce618): Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:prism2_plx_id_table (between 'prism2_plx_drv_id' and 'dev_info')
