John W. Linville 3473187d24 mac80211: remove wep dependency
The current mac80211 code assumes that WEP is always available.  If WEP
fails to initialize, ieee80211_register_hw will always fail.

In some cases (e.g. FIPS certification), the cryptography used by WEP is
unavailable.  However, in such cases there is no good reason why CCMP
encryption (or even no link level encryption) cannot be used.  So, this
patch removes mac80211's assumption that WEP (and TKIP) will always be
available for use.

Johannes Berg fffd0934b9 cfg80211: rework key operation
This reworks the key operation in cfg80211, and now only
allows, from userspace, configuring keys (via nl80211)
after the connection has been established (in managed
mode), the IBSS been joined (in IBSS mode), at any time
(in AP[_VLAN] modes) or never for all the other modes.

In order to do shared key authentication correctly, it
is now possible to give a WEP key to the AUTH command.
To configure static WEP keys, these are given to the
CONNECT or IBSS_JOIN command directly, for a userspace
SME it is assumed it will configure it properly after
the connection has been established.

Since mac80211 used to check the default key in IBSS
mode to see whether or not the network is protected,
it needs an update in that area, as well as an update
to make use of the WEP key passed to auth() for shared
key authentication.

Johannes Berg c9cf01226e mac80211: refactor the WEP code to be directly usable
The new key work for cfg80211 will only give us the WEP
key for shared auth to do that authentication, and not
via the regular key settings, so we need to be able to
encrypt a single frame in software, and that without a
key struct. Thus, refactor the WEP code to not require
a key structure but use the key, len and idx directly.

Nothing very interesting, some checkpatch inspired stuff,
some other things.

Johannes Berg 988c0f723d mac80211: a few code cleanups
This has some code cleanups (some inspired by checkpatch), I got
bored at probably a third of the output though so if somebody
else wants to...

Johannes Berg 2c8dccc774 mac80211: rename files
This patch renames all mac80211 files (except ieee80211_i.h) to get rid
of the useless ieee80211_ prefix.

Split it into ieee80211_tx_data and ieee80211_rx_data to clarify
usage/flag usage and remove the stupid union thing.

Johannes Berg 9ae54c8463 mac80211: split ieee80211_txrx_result
The _DROP result will need to be split in the RX path but not
in the TX path, so for preparation split up the type into two
types, one for RX and one for TX. Also make sure (via sparse)
that they cannot be confused.

Johannes Berg 6a22a59d48 [PATCH] mac80211: consolidate encryption
Currently we run through all crypto handlers for each transmitted
frame although we already know which one will be used. This
changes the code to invoke only the needed handler. It also moves
the wep code into wep.c.

Johannes Berg 4f0d18e26f [PATCH] mac80211: consolidate decryption
Currently, we run through all three crypto algorithms for each
received frame even though we have previously determined which
key we have and as such already know which algorithm will be
used. Change it to invoke only the needed function. Also move
the WEP decrypt handler to wep.c so that fewer functions need
to be non-static.
