ESSIDs can technically include NULL characters.  Drivers should not be
adjusting the length of the ESSID before reporting it in their
SIOCGIWESSID handlers.  Breaks stuff like wpa_supplicant.  Note that ipw
drivers, which seem to currently be the "most correct", don't have this
problem.

Hello Jeff,

this patch changes causes the airo driver to not reset the card when a
temporary WEP key is set, when the IW_ENCODE_TEMP flag is used.  This is
needed for xsupplicant as 802.1x, LEAP, etc. change WEP keys frequently
after authentication and resetting the card causes infinite
reauthentication.

Javier and Jean agree with the patch, Javier suggested I send this to
you, can you apply this?

Thanks.

without this patch after an rmmod, modprobe the card won't work anymore
until the next reboot.

This patch seem safe to apply for all cards as the bsd driver already do
that.

I had to add a timeout because strange things happen (issuecommand will
fail) if the card is already reseted (after a reboot).

PS : it seems there are missing reset when leaving monitor mode...

This patch creates a file airo.h containing prototypes of the global
functions in airo.c used by airo_cs.c .

If you got strange problems with either airo_cs devices or in any other
completely unrelated part of the kernel shortly or long after a airo_cs
device was detected by the kernel, this might have been caused by the
fact that caller and callee disagreed regarding the size of the first
argument to init_airo_card()...

fid is declared as a u32 (unsigned int), and then a few lines later, it is checked for a value < 0, which is clearly useless.
In the two locations this function is used, in one it is *explicitly* given a negative number, which would be ignored with the
current definition.

This patch rewrites various occurences of &sg[0] where sg is an array
of length one to simply sg.
