Hi John,
here's a pretty big pull request from ath6kl.git. I was supposed to send
this already earlier, but I wanted to have a fix for an important TCP
corruption bug first. Even there are quite a few changes, I still ask
you to consider this for the 3.2 release. It has received extensive
testing and we have fixed a bunch of bugs from the current version in
wireless-next.
New features are:
o AP and P2P support
o support of soon to be released new firmware
o debugfs files to retrieve various stats and fw logs
o beginnings of AR6004 support, not finished yet
o notify user space that ath6kl manages intra-ESS roaming
And also a lot of code cleanup and bugfixes.
John, when you pull please note that there's a cfg80211 API change which
affects ath6kl_mgmt_tx(). As I wasn't sure should I merge wireless-next
and fix the API change in ath6kl.git so I decided not to do that. But if
you want me to do it, please let me know and I can send you a new pull
request.
Here's a diff what needs to be changed, thanks to Rajkumar Manoharan:

Also note that I had to merge wireless-next at one point to get

stupid with that one.
