This is hopefully the final release candidate before 0.1.15-final.  If I
don't hear any complaints, this will get re-released as 0.1.15 on
Friday. =20

A couple of bugfixes, a new card ident, and applied the (newer) patch
from Clay Jones that lets you truncate packets in monitor mode for slow
bus interfaces.=20

Full changelog follows:

-pre8
  - Added code to optionally truncate packets in monitor mode. (Clay Jones)
  - Fix a polarity problem with the stripfcs argument to monitor mode.
  - Add a test to make sure wireless.h is included.
  - Netgear MA401A card ident.
  - Further cleanups of the build system (Makefiles)
-pre7
  - Include wireless.h so wireless extensions work again.  :)
  - Work around the braindead RedHat kernel build system.
  - Fix a class of unaligned accesses in the message structures=20
    (kernel driver) and user space parsers (wlanctl-ng, etc)
  - Fix an unpacked struct problem that affected ARM platforms
    (thanks to Clay Jones for spotting this one)
-pre6
  - Support the new auto-unknown mode present in firmware >1.3.3
    When issuing an autojoin, we try to join a BSS, then an IBSS, and if
    all fails, we create a new IBSS with the given parameters. *note* =20
    currently disabled due to firmware bugs.
  - Updates to hfa384x.h to reflect latest documentation
  - Build system mini-enema.  Automagically detect kernel version,
    pcmcia status, and modversions.  Pick up the kernel compile flags.
  - Hopefully fixed the 'crash on unload' for 2.2.x kernels and PCI.
  - 'p2req_join' command, see doc/wlanctl-ng.p2req_join.txt=20
    This lets you join a specific SSID.  Thanks to Clay Jones.
  - A couple more pcmcia/cf card idents
  - More deletions/fixes in wlan_compat.h
-pre5
  - Due to new hotplug code, atmel device detection removed
  - Further cleanups in wlan_compat.h and non-kernel makefiles
  - Debian package stuff yanked in favor of the "official" deb packages
  - Rearranged the wireless extension support code a bit
  - A fix for the promisc/allmulti stuff on USB devices
-pre4
  - Hotplug support for PCI/PLX/USB widgets
  - A compile fix for 2.2.x (x < 18) kernels and PCI adapters
  - Support for TMD7160-based "almost but not quite PLX" boards
  - HP-PA support.  In theory.  Anyone care to test?
  - pcmcia script cleanups
  - Add ident info for the "Intel PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN USB Device"
  - Include an almost-sane fix to the modversion madness
  - Tweak the init order of the PCI driver structs
-pre3
  - Added ident info for ASUS WL-110/WL-100 cards
  - Support for PCI power managment
  - Fixed a wep hang on the transmit side
  - Compile fixes; mainly for 2.2 kernels
  - Add support for the SIOCGIWRATE wireless extension
-pre2
  - Restructured the driver locking.  SMP should be MUCH better now.
  - Stripped out more dead code. (mainly FID_STACK)
  - Fix an skb access after we call netif_rx
  - Fixes for XScale CPUs.
  - Added added a MiniUSB ident info
  - Restructure of the docmd_* functions
-pre1
  - Host-based WEP decryption and encryption
