27be44ff8e [PATCH] bcm43xx: improved statistics
This minor patch for wireless-2.6 (softmac) adjusts the parameters of
the wireless statistics to improve the display of programs such as the
"Wireless Network Information" applet of KDE. Thanks to Dan Williams
and Jean Tourrilhes for valuable help in setting up the return of
info in dBm.

4221f980a4 [PATCH] bcm43xx: improved statistics
This patch improves the statistics returned from
bcm43xx_get_wireless_stats. The signal level comes from smoothing the
"rssi" value returned by the firmware after it is converted into a
dBm value by the driver. The quality value is a hack derived from the
smoothed level and an assumed RX_POWER_MAX of -10 dBM. The noise value
is still the one calculated from the clean-room formula. On my system,
this is roughly -65 dBm, which seems too high.

The revised version uses the ieee80211 spinlock to protect traversing
of the network list.

efa6a37021 [PATCH] bcm43xx: opencoded locking
As many people don't seem to like the locking "obfuscation"
in the bcm43xx driver, this patch removes it.

fc8fd3400b [PATCH] Convert bcm43xx-softmac to use the ieee80211_is_valid_channel routine
The current version of bcm43xx-softmac uses local routines to check
if a channel is valid. As noted in the comments, these routines do
not take any regulatory information into account. This patch converts
the code to use the equivalent routine in ieee80211, which is being
converted to know about regulatory information.

a392149ee1 [PATCH] bcm43xx: iw_priv_args names should be <16 characters
The room for the names in bcm43xx_priv_wx_args[] are IFNAMSIZ long and
IFNAMSIZ is defined as 16, so the names in bcm43xx_priv_wx_args should
be 15 characters (16 including the trailing \0). This patch fixes that
for the "set_shortpreambl", "get_shortpreambl", "set_swencryption", and
"get_swencryption" private calls. Patch is against 2.6.17-rc1.

There are more mmiowb() needed.
