e85d0918b5 [PATCH] ZyDAS ZD1211 USB-WLAN driver
There are 60+ USB wifi adapters available on the market based on the ZyDAS
ZD1211 chip.

Unlike the predecessor (ZD1201), ZD1211 does not have a hardware MAC, so most
data operations are coordinated by the device driver. The ZD1211 chip sits
alongside an RF transceiver which is also controlled by the driver. Our driver
currently supports 2 RF types, we know of one other available in a few marketed
products which we will be supporting soon.

Our driver also supports the newer revision of ZD1211, called ZD1211B. The
initialization and RF operations are slightly different for the new revision,
but the main difference is 802.11e support. Our driver does not support the
QoS features yet, but we think we know how to use them.

This driver is based on ZyDAS's own GPL driver available from www.zydas.com.tw.
ZyDAS engineers have been responsive and supportive of our efforts, so thumbs
up to them. Additionally, the firmware is redistributable and they have
provided device specs.

This driver has been written primarily by Ulrich Kunitz and myself. Graham
Gower, Greg KH, Remco and Bryan Rittmeyer have also contributed. The
developers of ieee80211 and softmac have made our lives so much easier- thanks!

We maintain a small info-page: http://zd1211.ath.cx/wiki/DriverRewrite

If there is enough time for review, we would like to aim for inclusion in
2.6.18. The driver works nicely as a STA, and can connect to both open and
encrypted networks (we are using software-based encryption for now). We will
work towards supporting more advanced features in the future (ad-hoc, master
mode, 802.11a, ...).

5c601d0c94 [PATCH] wireless: move zd1201 where it belongs
zd1201 is wifi adapter, yet it is hiding in drivers/usb/net where
noone can find it. This moves Kconfig/Makefile zd1201 to the right
place.

    New driver - spectrum_cs.

    Driver for 802.11b cards using RAM-loadable Symbol firmware, such as
    Symbol Wireless Networker LA4100, CompactFlash cards by Socket
    Communications and Intel PRO/Wireless 2011B.

    The driver implements Symbol firmware download.  The rest is handled
    in hermes.c and orinoco.c.

    Utilities for downloading the Symbol firmware are available at
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/orinoco/

    New driver - orinoco_nortel.

    This is a driver for Nortel emobility PCI adaptors, which consist of an
    Orinoco compatible PCMCIA card and a simple PCI-to-PCMCIA bridge.  The
    driver initializes the device and uses Orinoco core driver for actual
    wireless networking.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
