We send SYSTEM_CONFIG command after the TGI_KEY command if hardware
encryption is enabled. It sometimes causes a firmware stall (firmware
doesn't respond to any request) and finally bungs up the Tx send queue.
The solution is to send SYSTEM_CONFIG command in the post association
stage from a workqueue.

* Fixed#627 problem with open APs not working with wpa_supplicant
* Fixed#632 problem with 'txpower auto' setting power incorrectly (thanks
to Kai Groner)
* Fixed#634 problem with 'iwconfig eth1 frag 0' hanging the shell
* Fixed problem with adapter not fully powering off during suspend to RAM or
when module unloaded.
* Fixed#645 problem with turning fixed rates off not taking effect until
you reload the driver
* Fixed problem with firmware restart if wpa_supplicant was used to set a key
that wasn't exactly 5 or 13 bytes in length.
* Fixed#623 Added iwpriv sw_reset extension to reset sw parameters
* Added managment frame export to user space with frame statistics
* Fixed#652 Modified the driver to load the EEPROM data even if RF KILL is
active during driver load
* Global s:CX2_:IPW_:g to make code more consistent
* Fixed#572 problem with setting txpower to auto
* Fixed#656 problem with kernel oops if mode auto; modprobe -r ipw2200
* Added QoS (CONFIG_IPW_QOS) support. This is being actively developed but
is the first step in getting WMM support into the driver and the kernel.
* Fixed some race conditions with channel changes, association, and scan
abort that could periodically cause a firmware restart.
* Added some extensions to export scan and network statistics to user space
(exposed through speed_scan and net_stats sysfs entries)
* Fixed a few bugs in how monitor mode was supported (scan lists
weren't quite right)
* Updated the firmware requirement from 2.2 to 2.3 which supports
monitor mode.

Blackham)

Removed unneeded parenthesis around numeric constant defines
Added support for iwspy
Put in fix for Ad-Hoc mode not passing through all packets (thanks to KKH)
Put in fix for fragmentation not working for fragment sizes between
441-464 bytes (thanks to Mohamed Abbas)
Fixed#592 problem of CONFIG_IEEE80211_WPA_MODULE not including WPA
support into the driver -- fixed as a result of no longer limiting WPAs
inclusion
Fixed#594 problem with user rates mask causing lack of association if
AP mandatory rate is masked out. We now add back in as a supported rate
any mandatory rate.
Fixed#597 kernel oops due to calling dev_kfree_skb on an skb multiple times.
Added code to control LEDs that can be controlled through the wireless
NIC (vs. non-wireless HW interfaces) -- this is currently disabled by
default due to reports by some users of it hanging their laptop.
Added some more debug messages around fragmentation logic
Added locking around STATUS_HCMD_ACTIVE to prevent re-entry race
conditions
Moved ipw_adapter_restart to only execute on the priv->workqueue to
keep keyboard errors from occuring during adapter restart
Added CFG_BACKGROUND_SCAN to easily allow people to play with
background scanning implementations
Modified WPA logic to send WPA IE if one is set (vs. being based on
wpa_enabled)
Modified scan result logic to report WPA and RSN IEs if set (vs. being
based on wpa_enabled)
Fixed issues with endianess compatability between the host and
wireless adapter (thanks to York Liu and Yi Zhu)
Fixed problem with Ad-Hoc network creation causing a firmware error if
a scan was actively running (thanks to Mohamed Abbas)

This commit contains the following fixes:
Fixed#559: iwconfig rate support (thanks to Florian Hackenberger)
Improved link signal quality calculation (thanks to Bill Moss)
Fixed a problem with sensitivity threshold during association
Added iwpriv for turning forcing long preamble support:
% iwpriv eth1 set_preamble 1|0
Fixed#542 and #377 support for short preamble
Fixed locked BSSID reporting channel number (thanks to Pedro
Ramalhais)
Fixed type-o with scan watchdog timeout message (thanks to Pedro
Ramalhais)
Changed logic for displaying get_mode output so the code is easier to
follow (thanks to Pedro Ramalhais)
Added initial support for WPA (thanks to Yi Zhu) -- tested with
wpa_supplicant (either tip w/ ipw driver, or with -Dipw2100) with
both CCMP and TKIP
Fixed problem with CCMP not working due to uninitialized 802.11
header fields (thanks to Pedro Ramalhais)

No code changes, just Lindent + manual fixups.
This prepares us for updating to the latest Intel driver code, plus
gives the source code a nice facelift.
This removes one trap for a programmer, few unused macros, and one
unused struct.
