Jouni Malinen bd5824f138 [PATCH] hostap: Remove driver version number
The driver version number has not been updated since the driver was
included in the main kernel tree and there is no plan on updating this
in the future either. At this point, the only correct way to refer to
the version is to use the kernel version. The 0.4.4 version is
confusing since there are external version with higher version number
even though they are not actually any newer than the in-tree version.

Let's get rid of the version number in the kernel tree in order to
avoid this kind of confusion.

Pavel Roskin a485cde662 [PATCH] hostap: allow flashing firmware
Host AP driver has code to support writing firmware to non-volatile
memory, a.k.a. flash.  This code has been extensively tested when Host
AP was a standalone driver.

Add a configuration option to the kernel to allow enabling this
functionality.  Improve the description of the RAM download option.
Mention cards that require it.  Remove obsolete scary comment.

Jouni Malinen ea3f1865f3 [PATCH] hostap: Remove experimental PCI bus master/DMA code
PCI version of Prism2.5/3 has undocumented DMA support for TX/RX data,
but this seems to have some hardware bugs that prevent it from being
used properly for TX. RX side could possibly be made to work reliably.

Even though DMA support would be very useful for saving host CPU (from
about 40% to 5-10% when operating at maximum throughput), it seems to
be best to just remove this code finally. The implementation has
always been commented out by default and has received very limited
testing. The code may have already been broken number of times and I
don't have much interested in trying to verify whether it works or
not. Getting this out makes it easier to maintain the driver and
allows some cleanups that have been partly postponed because of this
experimental bus master/DMA code.
