ChangeLog for Host AP driver for Intersil Prism2

2002-04-21
	* added support for Prism2.5-based native PCI cards and PC Cards
	  in PLX9052-base PCI adapters
	  - new module names (to avoid duplicates with linux-wlan-ng):
	    PC Card version: hostap_cs.o
	    PCI version for Prism2.5: hostap_pci.o
	    PLX version: hostap_plx.o
	  - please note, that /etc/pcmcia/prism2.conf is renamed to
	    hostap_cs.conf and you may need to manually remove old
prism2.conf
	    from /etc/pcmcia
	* fixed BAP setup problems (BAP0 and BAP1 cannot apparently be setup
	  correctly, even though they can be used concurrently for
 	  reading/writing)
	  - this removes at least some corruption problems (e.g., "no SNAP?"
	    messages)
	  - this fixes some card hangs (which would usually cause
 	    "hfa384x_setup_bap - timeout3" messages)
	* re-organized driver source code (see driver_source.txt for
details)
	* do not allow "Any" (i.e., zero-len) SSID to be set when in Host AP
	  mode (this seems to kill the card)
	* fixed byte order bugs in SIOCSIWMODE, SIOCSIWFREQ, and SIOCSIWRATE
 	  handlers (affecting big endian platforms)
	* fixed WEP configuration to return valid configuration after card
	  reset
