The specifications for the bcm43xx driver have been modified. This
patch incorporates these changes in the code, which results in the
BCM4311 and BCM4312 working. The name of one of the PHY parameters,
previously known as "version", has been changed to "analog", short for
"analog core version" .

The current bcm43xx driver ignores any wireless-enable switches on mini-PCI
and mini-PCI-E cards. This patch implements a new routine to interrogate the
radio hardware enabled bit in the interface, logs the initial state and any
changes in the switch (if debugging enabled), activates the LED to show the
state, and changes the periodic work handler to provide 1 second response
to switch changes and to account for changes in the periodic work specs.

The current version of bcm43xx-softmac uses local routines to check
if a channel is valid. As noted in the comments, these routines do
not take any regulatory information into account. This patch converts
the code to use the equivalent routine in ieee80211, which is being
converted to know about regulatory information.

This should not make a difference, but be careful to not trash the register.

This may workaround the XMIT ERRORs some people are getting.
