With the latest series of cleanup patches merged in by Greg KH, I'd like to now
propose moving brcm80211 out of staging and into mainline.

Since brcm80211 in staging-next has about ~250 patches that areen't in
wireless-testing yet, I've put together a patch to add a copy of the current
sources from staging-next into wireless-testing:drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211.

The patch is somewhat large, so I've posted the patch at:

	http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/brcm80211?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=0001-wireless-testing-add-brcm80211.patch

Only the necessary Kconfig and Makefile adjustments have been made (the sources
are unchanged from what's currently in staging-next).

The change to Kconfig seems to be wrong. It would be better to respect CONFIG_WLAN in drivers/net/wireless/Kconfig, like all other drivers do. Then drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/Kconfig should be cleaned up to remove unneeded dependencies on CONFIG_WLAN.
