    Package: ipw2100-source
    Version: 0.50-1
    Severity: wishlist

    A few fixes, some cleanups, and incorporation of the various build fix
    patches folks have been sending to the list. No new functionality this release.

    Most notably, fixes the compilation problems when swsusp2 patch is being
    used.

    Here's the ChangeLog:

    * Misc. cleanups to ieee80211* (thanks to Christoph Hellwig)
    * Fixed type-o in description for associate module parameter: default =
    * on
    (not off as previously reported)
    * Fixed problem with NULL embedded ESSIDs being used while the HW is not
    initialized.
    * Fix #160 - Type-o in INSTALL referencing 1.1 firmware vs. 1.2
    * Added iwpriv 'set_preamble' which can be used to limit the firmware to
    only use long preamble. Setting to 0 sets it to AUTO (default). Setting
    to 1 limits to only using long preamble.
    * Fix #162 - Attempts to set power options other than ON/OFF with 'iwconfig eth1 power' now fail.
    Clarified power level report out when get_power is used.
    * Fixed #166 - setting more than 5 keys affects active key. Any attempt
    * to
    set a key outside the range 1-4 will result in Invalid Argument.
    * Added compilation support for having the SWSUSP patch installed
    * (thanks to
    Morten Nilsen)
    * Added support for the encryption modules that will be needed in order
    to implement WPA (thanks to Lubomir Gelo)
    * Modified net_dev declaration to compile on 2.4.27 (thanks to Yi Zhu)
    * Updated ieee80211 to sync with the ipw2200 project
    * Switched iwpriv get_power to use a larger buffer so a more informative
    string can be returned (thanks to An-Cheng Huang)
