alloc_etherdev has a generic OOM/unable to alloc message.

<title>ipw2x00: remove the right /proc/net entry</title>

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.

"ieee80211" was the old name of the common library for ipw2100 and
ipw2200.  It was renamed to "libipw", but some occurrences of the old
name remained.

Rename alloc_ieee80211() to alloc_libipw() and free_ieee80211() to
free_libipw().  Adjust comments and label names.  Change prefixes in
diagnostic messages.

Keep /proc/net/ieee80211 under the original name to avoid breaking user
interface.

Move the affected EXPORT_SYMBOL macros to their proper places.

<title>libipw: split ieee-&gt;networks into small pieces</title>

The ieee-&gt;networks consists of 128 struct libipw_network entries. If
we allocate this chunk of memory altogether, it ends up with an
order 4 page allocation. High order page allocation is likely to fail
on system high load. This patch splits the big chunk memory allocation
into small pieces, each is 344 bytes, allocates them with 128 times.

The patch fixed bug http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14989
