Instead of passing our own custom 32-bit addresses around and translating them, this patch makes all our register address constants absolute and removes the translation. There are two ugly parts: - fw_reg_addr() is needed to compute addresses of firmware registers, as this is dynamic based upon firmware - inc_addr() needs a small hack to handle byte vs word addressing However, both of those are only small, and we don't use fw_regs a whole lot anyway. The bonuses here include simplicity and improved driver readability. Also, the fact that registers are now referenced by 16-bit absolute addresses (as opposed to 32-bit pseudo addresses) means that over 2kb compiled code size has been shaved off. Includes some touchups and sparse fixes from Ulrich Kunitz. Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
README ------ This directory is mostly for Wireless LAN drivers, in their various incarnations (ISA, PCI, Pcmcia...). This separate directory is needed because a lot of driver work on different bus (typically PCI + Pcmcia) and share 95% of the code. This allow the code and the config options to be in one single place instead of scattered all over the driver tree, which is never 100% satisfactory. Note : if you want more info on the topic of Wireless LANs, you are kindly invited to have a look at the Wireless Howto : http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ Some Wireless LAN drivers, like orinoco_cs, require the use of Wireless Tools to be configured : http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html Special notes for distribution maintainers : 1) wvlan_cs will be discontinued soon in favor of orinoco_cs 2) Please add Wireless Tools support in your scripts Have fun...
