    Staging: wlan-ng: Switch from wext to cfg80211 · cb3126e6
    Karl Relton authored
    Switch driver over from wext to cfg80211 interface.
    
    Some Notes:
    
    - This patch moves the driver wholesale from wext to cfg80211. Wext
    support is still provided through the cfg80211 provided wext
    compatability layer.
    
    - Currently only infrastructure mode is implemented. Ad hoc mode is not
    yet implemented, but can be added.
    
    - It does not support connecting to a specified bssid, instead roaming
    is handled by the card itself. This matches the behaviour of the
    existing driver.
    
    - It has been tested using NetworkManager (via wpa_supplicant)
    configured to use the wext compatability layer, and then again with the
    native nl80211 layer.
