Finally, here's the first attempt at submitting Host AP code for
wireless-2.6 tree. In addition, this could be considered for merging
into linus-2.5 tree, so review and comments are very much welcome. Host
AP code has lived in an external CVS repository for three years and is
widely used.
The included patch has minimal changes to the current tree (against
2.6.6, but should apply to different versions with some differences in
line numbers) for including a new directory drivers/net/wireless/hostap.
The contents of that new directory is a bit large for a patch file and
since all the files are new, I made it available as a compressed tarball
at http://hostap.epitest.fi/hostap-linux.tgz. This should be untarred in
the root of the kernel tree (i.e., the file paths in the tarball start
with drivers/net/wirelss/hostap/...).
I removed most of the backwards (for Linux 2.4, pcmcia-cs modules,
different wireless extensions versions) compatibility code. In addition,
I replaced integrated implementations of ARC4, Michael MIC, and AES with
crypto API. AES-CCM mode is still implemented in hostap_crypt_ccmp.c,
but it could be moved at some point to crypto API as a new encryption
mode.
