PCI version of Prism2.5/3 has undocumented DMA support for TX/RX data,
but this seems to have some hardware bugs that prevent it from being
used properly for TX. RX side could possibly be made to work reliably.
Even though DMA support would be very useful for saving host CPU (from
about 40% to 5-10% when operating at maximum throughput), it seems to
be best to just remove this code finally. The implementation has
always been commented out by default and has received very limited
testing. The code may have already been broken number of times and I
don't have much interested in trying to verify whether it works or
not. Getting this out makes it easier to maintain the driver and
allows some cleanups that have been partly postponed because of this
experimental bus master/DMA code.

Create sysfs "device" files for hostap
I was writing some scripts to automatically build kismet source lines,
and I noticed that hostap devices don't have device files, unlike my
prism54 and ipw2200 cards:
$ ls -l /sys/class/net/eth0/device
/sys/class/net/eth0/device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:01.0
$ ls -l /sys/class/net/wifi0
ls: /sys/class/net/wifi0/device: No such file or directory
$ ls -l /sys/class/net/wlan0
ls: /sys/class/net/wlan0/device: No such file or directory
The following (quite small) patch makes sure that both the wlan and wifi
net devices have that pointer to the bus device.
This way, I can do things like
for i in /sys/class/net/*; do
if ! [ -e $i/device/drive ]; then
continue;
fi;
driver=$(basename $(readlink $i/device/driver))
case $driver in
hostap*)
echo -- hostap,$i,$i-$driver
break;
ipw2?00)
echo -- $driver,$i,$i-$driver
break;
prism54)
echo prism54g,$i
esac
done
Which should generate a working set of source lines for kismet no matter
what order I plug the cards in.
It might also be handy to have a link between the two net devices, but
that's a patch for another day.
That patch is against 2.6.13-rc1-mm1.
