Function cfg80211_inform_bss returns a pointer to a referenced struct cfg80211_bss
but no information is needed from this struct in function prism2_scan and therefore
we release it by calling cfg80211_put_bss.

In commit 1ca1a92cc6 "Staging: wlan-ng: memsetting the wrong amount of
data" I changed the code so we didn't memset() past the end of the
msg1.bssid.data[] array. Walter Harms noticed that it was weird that
we were setting the len to 6 when there were 7 elements in the array.
Pavel Roskin pointed out that the intent of the code was actually to
memset() msg1.bssid.data.data[] which is a 6 character array.

p80211item_pstr6_t is the size of "msg1.bssid" (16 bytes) but
msg1.bssid.data is type p80211pstr6_t and it is smaller (7 bytes). We
had just set that memory to zeroes earlier and now we're writing over it
with 0xff because we're writing past the end of the struct.
I don't know if this actually causes a problem. It may be that we
initialize the extra 0xff bytes correctly later. But the current code
is obviously wrong and we should fix it.

cfg80211 scan code adds separate BSS entries if the same BSS shows up
on multiple channels. However, sme implementation does not use the
frequency when fetching the BSS entry. Fix this by adding channel
information to cfg80211_roamed() and include it in cfg80211_get_bss()
calls.
Please note that drivers using cfg80211_roamed() need to be modified to
fully implement this fix. This commit includes only minimal changes to
avoid compilation issues; it maintains the old (broken) behavior for
most drivers. ath6kl was the only one that I could test, so I updated
it to provide the operating frequency in the roamed event.

Hi us,
When i was compiling kernel, a warning happened to me.
The warning said like following.
drivers/staging/wlan-ng/cfg80211.c:709: warning: initialization from
incompatible pointer type.
See http://s1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/harrywei/?action=view¤t=patched2.png
for more details.
So i patch like following.

The cfg80211 api has introduced a few new fields. Rather than assume
what cfg80211 api does by default, set these explicitly.

Commit fa61cf70a6 updates nl80211's function
.set_tx_power to use mBm units instead of dBm for greater accuracy and
smaller power levels.
This patchs updates prism2_set_tx_power() accordingly.

Switch driver over from wext to cfg80211 interface.
Some Notes:
- This patch moves the driver wholesale from wext to cfg80211. Wext
support is still provided through the cfg80211 provided wext
compatability layer.
- Currently only infrastructure mode is implemented. Ad hoc mode is not
yet implemented, but can be added.
- It does not support connecting to a specified bssid, instead roaming
is handled by the card itself. This matches the behaviour of the
existing driver.
- It has been tested using NetworkManager (via wpa_supplicant)
configured to use the wext compatability layer, and then again with the
native nl80211 layer.
