      nl80211: add power save commands · ffb9eb3d
      Kalle Valo authored
      The most needed command from nl80211, which Wireless Extensions had,
      is support for power save mode. Add a simple command to make it possible
      to enable and disable power save via nl80211.
      
      I was also planning about extending the interface, for example adding the
      timeout value, but after thinking more about this I decided not to do it.
      Basically there were three reasons:
      
      Firstly, the parameters for power save are very much hardware dependent.
      Trying to find a unified interface which would work with all hardware, and
      still make sense to users, will be very difficult.
      
      Secondly, IEEE 802.11 power save implementation in Linux is still in state
      of flux. We have a long way to still to go and there is no way to predict
      what kind of implementation we will have after few years. And because we
      need to support nl80211 interface a long time, practically forever, adding
      now parameters to nl80211 might create maintenance problems later on.
      
      Third issue are the users. Power save parameters are mostly used for
      debugging, so debugfs is better, more flexible, interface for this.
      For example, wpa_supplicant currently doesn't configure anything related
      to power save mode. It's better to strive that kernel can automatically
      optimise the power save parameters, like with help of pm qos network
      and other traffic parameters.
      
      Later on, when we have better understanding of power save, we can extend
      this command with more features, if there's a need for that.

      Introduce PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID3 · fbc87d67
      Pavel Roskin authored
      ...and use it in hostap_cs and orinoco_cs.
      
      Another PCMCIA device with Intersil Prism chipset has been reported:
      
      Socket 0:
        product info: "Gigabyte", "GN-WLM01_P25L_ADAPTER", "ISL37300P", "Eval-RevA"
        manfid: 0x02e0, 0x1011
        function: 6 (network)
      
      As it's the case with some other Prism based devices, the third ID
      string contains a design name that should be sufficient to identify the
      card as having Intersil Prism chipset and thus compatible with both
      orinoco_cs and hostap_cs.
      
      Introduce PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID3 that matches the third ID string only.
      
      Use it in orinoco_cs and hostap_cs to match cards with the third ID
      string indicating Prism chipset.  Remove corresponding entries that use
      PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID123.
