Another thing that crossed my mind: Should we have a netlink call for
adding virtual interfaces as well? Because then, the ipw2x00 drivers can
have their monitor interface(s) added the same way.

Hi Jeff:
In IP100A, phy address is 0. Because IP100A is a single chip, the in
chip phy address is 0. so, we must search phy address for 0.

Hi,
if I add an additional IPv4 address of the same subnet ("IP aliasing",
used for virtual hosting), it's added after the first one and also get
the flag "secondary":
# ip -4 addr show dev eth0 | grep -w inet
inet 192.0.2.11/24 brd 192.0.2.255 scope global eth0
# ip -4 addr add 192.0.2.253/
Hi Jeff:
I will follow those suggestions. Thanks.

IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_TSFT is defined as the Value in microseconds of the
MAC's 64-bit 802.11 Time Synchronization Function timer when the first bit
of the MPDU arrived at the MAC. Since ipw2200 hardware doesn't provide this
value, we disable this feature from the radiotap header present flag.

The ipw2200 firmware/ucode only support values from 0 to 254. So mark 255

This patch traps the case when the essid is being set to its
current value. If the essid is being set again and we are already
associated, chances are some other parameters have also been altered.
I think it is safer to do the re-association for this case.

Moving part of the debugging code from IPW_DEBUG to IPW_LL_DEBUG (low level
