It seems to me that the today's wireless-2.6 git contains bcm43xx which
does not free txb's correctly, if I understand it right.
Consider a situation where a txb with two skb's is sent down.
The dma_tx_fragment will save the pointer to meta->txb of the first
fragment. If fragments are freed in order, ieee80211_txb_free frees both
skb's when the first fragment is processed. This may result in reuse
of the second skb's memory.
This danger is rather remote, but it seems to me that the patch
below not only fixes the problem, but also makes the code simpler,
which is good, right?

The proper fix for this is to move IRQ enabling to the end of
init_board. But this is nontrivial and needs to be done with care.
Stay with this cheap workaround for now.

This patch contains the beginnings of ethtool support for bcm43xx.
It only implements get_drvinfo and get_link, but that's enough for
ifplugd to use ethtool to know whether we're associated or not and then
start or stop dhcp as necessary.

Observed problems when multiple processes request scans and subsequently
scan results. This causes a scan result request to hit card registers
before the scan is complete, returning an incomplete scan list and
possibly making the card very angry. Instead, cache the results of a
wireless scan and serve result requests from the cache, rather than
hitting the hardware for them.

This is version 20 of the Wireless Extensions. This is the
completion of the RtNetlink work I started early 2004, it enables the
full Wireless Extension API over RtNetlink.
Few comments on the patch :
o totally driver transparent, no change in drivers needed.
o iwevent were already RtNetlink based since they were created
(around 2.5.7). This adds all the regular SET and GET requests over
RtNetlink, using the exact same mechanism and data format as iwevents.
o This is a Kconfig option, as currently most people have no
need for it. Surprisingly, patch is actually small and well
encapsulated.
o Tested on SMP, attention as been paid to make it 64 bits clean.
o Code do probably too many checks and could be further
optimised, but better safe than sorry.
o RtNetlink based version of the Wireless Tools available on
my web page for people inclined to try out this stuff.
I would also like to thank Alexey Kuznetsov for his helpful
suggestions to make this patch better.
