wavelan: move driver to staging

Move the wavelan driver to drivers/staging.  This is another pre-802.11
driver that has seen virtually no non-API-fixup activity in years, and
for which no active hardware is likely to still exist.  This driver
represents unnecessary ongoing maintenance for no clear benefit.

This patch brought to you by the "hacking" session at the 2009 Kernel
Summit in Tokyo, Japan...

The Lucent WaveLAN (formerly NCR and AT&T; or DEC RoamAbout DS) is
a Radio LAN (wireless Ethernet-like Local Area Network) using the
radio frequencies 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz.
If you want to use an ISA WaveLAN card under Linux, say Y and read
the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from

information is contained in
<file:Documentation/networking/wavelan.txt> and in the source code
<file:drivers/net/wireless/wavelan.p.h>.
You will also need the wireless tools package available from
<http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.
Please read the man pages contained therein.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be

Say Y here if you intend to attach an AT&T/Lucent Wavelan PCMCIA

driver is for the non-IEEE-802.11 Wavelan cards.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
