Jeff & Dave,
This patch adds z1211 (previously known as zd1211rw-mac80211),
a driver for Zydas ZD1211 hardware. This driver has proven very
robust -- Fedora 7 uses this driver and I don't think I have any open
bugzillas for it. Either the driver works well, or no one as using
it...given the common availability of the hardware, I have to presume
the former. :-)
This driver is mostly a port of zd1211rw to the mac80211
infrastructure. In fact, most zd1211rw patches have been mirrored
directly to this driver for some time. I considered merely updating
the existing driver with this code, but I think it is more prudent to
include this as a separate driver just to avoid confusion. There is
some symbol clash between the two drivers, so I add a Kconfig hack
to ensure that only one or the other is built-in or that this one is
built as a module.
The maintainers have identified some (IMHO minor) issues with the
mac80211 port of this driver. Some of them are summarized here:

Still, I think we would be better-off having this driver upstream.
Thanks,
John
