79e4140c61 driver_ps3: Remove legacy ps3 wpa driver
The ps3 wireless kernel driver has wireless extension support.
There is a legacy wpa_supplicant driver, and support for this
has been removed from the kernel driver, as no distributions
are using it.

a911a6e61f Do not use virtual driver_ops for wpa_supplicant AP mode
Initialize struct hostapd_data driver context with the same driver
information that was initialized earlier during wpa_supplicant start.
This allows the AP mode operations to be completed directly with the
same calls in AP code without having to maintain a separate translation
layer between the AP and station mode driver context.

50b5bf4eda Remove obsolete Prism54.org driver support (driver_prism54.c)
The Prism54.org project seems have been dead for a while and it does not
look like this driver would ever be maintained again. Furthermore, it is
difficult to find a version that would work with the driver_prism54.c
wrapper and there is another driver for these card in the Linux kernel
tree.

The hostapd integration in driver_prism54.c is quite different from the
other driver wrappers and would require major effort to get it cleaned
up. Since there does not seem to be any real users for the cleaned up
version, there does not seem to be justification to spend this effort on
the wrapper. This old code is making it much more difficult to clean up
the driver interface and at this point, the best option seems to be to
remove the driver wrappers. Should someone really still need this, the
old code will continue to be available in hostapd 0.6.x.

c51218372f Merge wpa_supplicant and hostapd driver wrapper implementations
This commit merges the driver_ops structures and implementations from
hostapd/driver*.[ch] into src/drivers. This is only an initial step and
there is room for number of cleanups to share code between the hostapd
and wpa_supplicant parts of the wrappers to avoid unnecessary source
code duplication.

e519314ee9 Add RoboSwitch driver interface for wpa_supplicant
Find attached the patch that creates a new driver: roboswitch. This
driver adds support for wired authentication with a Broadcom
RoboSwitch chipset. For example it is now possible to do wired
authentication with a Linksys WRT54G router running OpenWRT.

LIMITATIONS
- At the moment the driver does not support the BCM5365 series (though
adding it requires just some register tweaks).
- The driver is also limited to Linux (this is a far more technical
restriction).
- In order to compile against a 2.4 series you need to edit
include/linux/mii.h and change all references to "u16" in "__u16". I
have submitted a patch upstream that will fix this in a future version
of the 2.4 kernel. [These modifications (and more) are now included in
the kernel source and can be found in versions 2.4.37-rc2 and up.]

USAGE
- Usage is similar to the wired driver. Choose the interfacename of
the vlan that contains your desired authentication port on the router.
This name must be formatted as <interface>.<vlan>, which is the
default on all systems I know.

3f5285e852 Added a preliminary nl80211/cfg80211 driver interface for wpa_supplicant
driver_nl80211.c is based on driver_wext.c and it is still using Linux
wireless extensions for many functions. Over time, the new driver interface
code should be modified to use nl80211/cfg80211 for everything.

b5a357b476 Add support for PS3 Linux wireless driver
This adds support for PS3 wireless to wpa_supplicant.

Although PS3 wireless driver is designed to conform the WEXT standard
as much as possible, unfortunately the wext driver wrapper of
wpa_supplicant can not support PS3 wireless fully because:

 - PS3 wireless driver uses private WEXT ioctls for accepting PSK of
   WPA-Personal from the userland.
   WEXT does not specify the way to do it.

 - The association and 4-way handshake are done by PS3 virtual
   wireless device. The guest OSes can not interfere it.

 - No EAPOL frames are allowed to go outside of the
   hypervisor/firmware nor come from. They are eaten by the firmware.

Thus I needed to make a new driver wrapper for PS3 wireless.

This patch can be applied against the latest 0.6.x tree.
