Since interrupts are enabled only when open is called on the interface,
Attempting a firmware update operation when interface is down could lead to
partial success or failure of operation. This fix fails the request if
netif_running is false.

VORTEX_PCI() could return NULL so it needs to be casted before
accessing any member of struct pci_dev. This fixes following
build failure. Likewise VORTEX_EISA() was changed also.

RCU conversion in IGMP code done in net-next-2.6 raised a race in
__bond_resend_igmp_join_requests().
It iterates in_dev->mc_list without appropriate protection (RTNL, or
read_lock on in_dev->mc_list_lock).
Another cpu might delete an entry while we use it and trigger a fault.

I am not family with RealTek RTL-8139C+ series 10/100 PCI Ethernet driver.
I try to guess the meaning of RxProtoIP and IPFail.
RxProtoIP stands for received IPv4 packet that upper protocol is not tcp and udp.
!(status & IPFail) is true means that driver correctly to check checksum in IPv4 header.
If these are right, driver will set ip_summed with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY for other
upper protocol, e.g. sctp, igmp protocol. This will cause protocol stack ignores
checksum check for packets with invalid checksum.
This patch is only compile-test.

If r8196 received packets with invalid sctp/igmp(not tcp, udp) checksum, r8196 set skb->ip_summed
wit CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. This cause that upper protocol don't check checksum field.
I am not family with r8196 driver. I try to guess the meaning of RxProtoIP and IPFail.
RxProtoIP stands for received IPv4 packet that upper protocol is not tcp and udp.
!(opts1 & IPFail) is true means that driver correctly to check checksum in IPv4 header.

with invalid checksum.

Currently the skb->protocol field is used to setup various
offloading parameters on transmit for the correct protocol.
However, if vlan offloading is disabled or otherwise not used,
the protocol field will be ETH_P_8021Q, not the actual protocol.
This will cause the offloading to be not performed correctly,
even though the hardware is capable of looking inside vlan tags.
Instead, look inside the header if necessary to determine the
correct protocol type.
To some extent this fixes a regression from 2.6.36 because it
was previously not possible to disable vlan offloading and this
error case was not exposed.

For device that supports VIRTIO_NET_F_STATUS, there's no need to
assume the link is up and we need to call nerif_carrier_off() before
querying device status, otherwise we may get wrong operstate after
diver was loaded because the link watch event was not fired as
expected.
For device that does not support VIRITO_NET_F_STATUS, we could not get
its status through virtnet_update_status() and what we can only do is
always assuming the link is up.

The reason appears to be ucc_geth_stop meets adjust_link as the
PHY reports PHY changes. I belive adjust_link hangs somewhere,
holding the PHY lock, because ucc_geth_stop disabled the
controller HW.
Fix is to stop the PHY before disabling the controller.

Currently, blinking LEDs can be awkward because it is not guaranteed that
all LEDs implement blinking. The trigger that wants it to blink then
needs to implement its own timer solution.
Rather than require that, add led_blink_set() API that triggers can use.
This function will attempt to use hw blinking, but if that fails
implements a timer for it. To stop blinking again, brightness_set() also
needs to be wrapped into API that will stop the software blink.
As a result of this, the timer trigger becomes a very trivial one, and
hopefully we can finally see triggers using blinking as well because it's
always easy to use.

Bit 22 of AR_WA should be set to fix the situation where chip reset
is asynchronous to clock of analog shift registers, such that when
reset is released, it could mess up the values of analog shift registers
and cause some hw issue on AR9280.
This bit is write only, but the driver does a read-modify-write
on AR_WA without setting bit 22 in ar9002_hw_configpcipowersave()
during radio disable. This causes surprise removal of hw. It can
never recover from this state and the hw will become usable only
after a power on/off cycle, and sometimes only during a cold reboot.
This issue can be triggered by doing frequent roaming with the
simple/test-roam script available from the wifi-test project [1]
when roaming between APs quickly. When roaming there is a is a high
possibility that the device being put into idle (radio disable) state
by mac80211 during AUTH->ASSOC. A device hardware reset would fail
and the kernel would output:

This is currently only reproducible with some HB92 (Half Mini-PCIE)
cards but the fix applies to all AR9280 cards. This patch fixes this
issue by setting bit 22 during radio disable.
This patch has fixes for all kernels that has ath9k.

because of a DMA problem in C3 state. This patch fixes this
issue.

The HW opmode is blindly set to monitor type on monitor mode
change notification. This overrides the opmode when one of the
interfaces is still running as non-monitor iftype. So the monitoring
information needs to be maintained seperately.

This bug seems to be due to commit 27ae60f8f7aac ("ipw2x00: replace
"ieee80211" with "libipw" where appropriate"), where Pavel did this:
- libipw_proc = proc_mkdir(DRV_NAME, init_net.proc_net);
+ libipw_proc = proc_mkdir("ieee80211", init_net.proc_net);
but then the cleanup was kept as
remove_proc_entry(DRV_NAME, init_net.proc_net);
in both places (both in the failure case and in the unload case). The
error string is also total crap, and says
"Unable to create " DRV_NAME " proc directory\n");
Even though it doesn't actually create a proc directory named DRV_NAME at all.
So that patch looks like total and utter crap to me. The commit message says
"Keep /proc/net/ieee80211 under the original name to avoid breaking user
interface."
but the thing is, it really didn't fix anything but that one create
thing. It needs to fix all the other cases too.

Commit 27ae60f8f7aa ("ipw2x00: replace "ieee80211" with "libipw" where
appropriate") changed DRV_NAME to be "libipw", but didn't properly fix
up the places where it was used to specify the name for the /proc/net/
directory.
For backwards compatibility reasons, that directory name remained
"ieee80211", but due to the DRV_NAME change, the error case printouts
and the cleanup functions now used "libipw" instead. Which made it all
fail badly.
For example, on module unload as reported by Randy:
WARNING: at fs/proc/generic.c:816 remove_proc_entry+0x156/0x35e()
name 'libipw'
because it's trying to unregister a /proc directory that obviously
doesn't even exist.
Clean it all up to use DRV_PROCNAME for the actual /proc directory name.
