It is in fact MPL/GPL, the same as the rest of the linux-wlan-ng
package.
Thanks to the Debian folks, particularly Victor Seva, for bringing this
to our intention.
if the wireless extension interface is passed a null string for the ssid
in siwessid, autojoin tries to trim the trailing null and can oops.
I've never been able to trap the oops stack trace so I don't know
exactly where the problem occurs, but this patch fixes it .
wireless_ext 19 defines a new flag IW_QUAL_DBM for wstats -- as our
stats are measured in dbm this patch sets it.
This lets iwconfig & /proc/net/wireless display more sensible results.
with this patch /proc/net/wireless shows
level -58 noise -95
It looks like semaphores are on the way out, and so I've converted the
CTLX semaphore into a completion object. (I don't think that the new
mutex object is meant to be used for cases like this.) This has needed
the wait_for_completion_interruptible() system function, which I've had
to cut-and-paste into the source file for kernels earlier than 2.6.10.
I've also consolidated some of the clean-up code for the skb on the RX
urb: the USB subsystem guarantees that the URB completion function is
called.

The deferred processing function now queries the SSID, as it changes..
and the periodic timer now queries the BSSID/SSID all the time, and
linkqual only in STA modes.
Hi,
I fixed up some of the issues that sparse warns about when building the
prism2_usb. I don't think that any of these patches change the generated
modules and I've been running them on my laptop with no problems so far,
1+ days.
I've not seen anything that looks to be a problem, so these patches are
just to align the wlan code with the kernel best practises.
With a couple of changes to ensure compilation against older kernels.
1) Remove the last of the old MODULE_PARM parameters (2.6 in general)
2) irq_mask/irq_list are irrelevant (2.6.11)
3) event handler moved (2.6.13)
4) pcmcia/version.h is obselete (2.6.13)
5) driver model integration -- SET_NETDEV_DEV (2.6.11)
6) client->Attributes is obselete (2.6.11)
More will follow.
sprintf(nsdname, "NSDNAME=%s", wlandev->nsdname);
if (wlan_wext_write)
sprintf(nsdname, "WLAN_WEXT=y");
"WLAN_WEXT=y" overwrites the original string (not to mention that
sprintf() is unneeded for a simple string copy). The result is that
enabling wlan_wext_write disables hotplug functionality.
This patch fixes hotplug support if wlan_wext_write is enabled. I think
it's safer to provide WLAN_WEXT always, so that new environment
variables are not accidentally added after a variable that can be NULL.

I'm assuming that the offending entry was restored unintentionally,
probably because the version strings were misspelled, so one had to
resort to numeric manfids. Indeed, search for "I-GATE 11M PC Card / PC
Card Plus" (with quotes) shows that "Plus" should be replaced with
"plus":
