This reverts commit 81100eb80a for the
release, to avoid the unnecessary warning noise that is only really
relevant to wireless driver developers.
The warning will probably go right back in after I cut the release, but
at least we won't unnecessarily worry users.

When using recvfrom() on a SOCK_DGRAM packet socket, I noticed that the MAC
address passed back for wireless frames was always completely wrong. The
reason for this is that the header parse function assigned to our virtual
interfaces is a function parsing an 802.11 rather than 802.3 header. This
patch fixes it by keeping the default ethernet header operations assigned.

I'm not sure if this is best choice, someone might have better
solutions. But this patch fixed the connection problem when switching
from a WPA enabled AP (using wpa_supplicant) to an open AP (using
iwconfig). The root cause is when we connect to a WPA enabled AP,
wpa_supplicant sets the ifsta->extra_ie thru SIOCSIWGENIE. But if we
stop wpa_supplicant and connect to an open AP with iwconfig, there is
no way to clear the extra_ie so that mac80211 keeps connecting with that.
Someone could argue wpa_supplicant should clear the extra_ie during
its shutdown. But mac80211 should also handle the unexpected shutdown
case (ie. killall -9 wpa_supplicant).

When an interface with promisc/allmulti bit is taken down,
the mac80211 state can become confused. This fixes it by
making mac80211 keep track of all *active* interfaces that
have the promisc/allmulti bit set in the sdata, we sync
the interface bit into sdata at set_multicast_list() time
so this works.

I recently experienced unexplainable behaviour with the b43
driver when I had broken firmware uploaded. The cause may have
been that promisc mode was not correctly enabled or disabled
and this bug may have been the cause.
Note how the values are compared later in the function so
just doing the & will result in the wrong thing being
compared and the test being false almost always.

Make "decrypt failed" and "have no key" debugging messages compile
conditionally upon CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG. They have been useful for
finding certain problems in the past, but in many cases they just
clutter a user's logs.
A typical example is an enviornment where multiple SSIDs are using a
single BSSID but with different protection schemes or different keys
for each SSID. In such an environment these messages are just noise.
Let's just leave them for those interested enough to turn-on debugging.

In the long bug-hunt for why dynamic WEP networks didn't work it
turned out that mac80211 incorrectly uses IW_AUTH_KEY_MGMT while
it should use IW_AUTH_PRIVACY_INVOKED to determine whether to
associate to protected networks or not.
This patch changes the behaviour to be that way and clarifies the
existing code.

Too frequently people do not have module autoloading enabled
or fail to install the rate control module correctly, hence
their hardware probing fails due to no rate control algorithm
being available. This makes the 'simple' algorithm built into
the mac80211 module unless EMBEDDED is enabled in which case
it can be disabled (eg. if the wanted driver requires another
rate control algorithm.)

Some APs send management frames with junk padding after the last IE.
We already account for a similar problem with some Apple Airport
devices, but at least one device is known to send more than a single
extra byte. The device in question is the Draytek Vigor2900:
http://www.draytek.com.au/products/Vigor2900.php
The junk in question looks like an IE that runs off the end of the
frame. This cause us to return ParseFailed. Since the frame in
question is an association response, this causes us to fail to associate
with this AP.
The return code from ieee802_11_parse_elems is superfluous.
All callers still check for the presence of the specific IEs that
interest them anyway. So, remove the return code so the parse never
"fails".

Problem description by Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org>:
"This sequence of events causes loss of connectivity:
<plug in>
<associate as normal in managed mode>
ifconfig eth7 down
iwconfig eth7 mode monitor
ifconfig eth7 up
ifconfig eth7 down
iwconfig eth7 mode managed
<associate as normal>
At this point you are associated but TX does not work. This is because
the eth7 hard_start_xmit is still ieee80211_monitor_start_xmit."
The problem is caused by ieee80211_if_set_type checking for a non-zero
hard_start_xmit pointer value in order to avoid changing that value for
master devices. The fix is to make that check more explicitly linked to
master devices rather than simply checking if the value has been
previously set.
