patch 94e10bfb8a7372df3ef2759c9ec2a37de2f24aca in mainline.
The MLME request reason code is host-endian and our passing
it to the low level functions is host-endian as well since
they do the swapping. I noticed that the reason code 768 was
sent (0x300) rather than 3 when wpa_supplicant terminates.
This removes the superfluous cpu_to_le16() call.

Reported by Chris Evans <scarybeasts@gmail.com>:
> The summary is that an evil 80211 frame can crash out a victim's

Commit 4cf92a3c was submitted as a fix for bug #8686 at bugzilla.kernel.org
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8686). Unfortunately, the fix led to
a new bug, reported by Yoshifuji Hideaki, that prevented association for WEP
encrypted networks that use ifconfig to control the device. This patch effectively
reverts the earlier commit and does a proper fix for bug #8686.

Victor Porton reported that the SoftMAC layer had random problem when setting the ESSID :

So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...
:-)
Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network,
mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being
meaningful as offsets or pointers.

For the common, open coded 'skb->nh.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can
later turn skb->nh.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in
64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit.
This one touches just the most simple case, next will handle the slightly more
"complex" cases.

There is a bug in ieee80211softmac that always sets the user rate
to 11Mbs, no matter the capabilities of the device. This bug was
probably beneficial as long as the bcm43xx cards were rate limited;
however, most are now capable of relatively high speeds. This patch
fixes that bug and eliminates an assert that is no longer needed.
Once the cards are capable of full OFDM speeds, the 24 Mbs rate will
be changed to 54 Mbs.

Unconfigured bcm43xx device can hit an assert() during wx_get_rate
queries. This is because bcm43xx calls ieee80211softmac_start late
(i.e. during open instead of probe).
bcm43xx_net_open ->
bcm43xx_init_board ->
bcm43xx_select_wireless_core ->
ieee80211softmac_start
Fix is to check that device is running before completing
ieee80211softmac_wx_get_rate.

The signature of work functions changed recently from a context
pointer to the work structure pointer. This caused a problem in
the ieee80211softmac code, because the ieee80211softmac_assox_work
function has been called directly with a parameter explicitly
casted to (void*). This compiled correctly but resulted in a
softlock, because mutex_lock was called with the wrong memory
address. The patch fixes the problem. Another issue was a wrong
call of the schedule_work function. Softmac works again and this
fixes the problem I mentioned earlier in the zd1211rw rx tasklet
patch. The patch is against Linus' tree (commit af1713e0).
