Cover letter [PATCH 0/8] RFC: Wireless Extensions for rndis_host

Hello all,

I have here a patchset that needs some review. This patchset adds wireless extensions for rndis_host to enable support for RNDIS based USB wireless LAN adapters (e.g. Linksys WUSB54GS, Belkin F05D7051).

In this patchset:

 1.  Fix sparse warning: returning void valued expression
 2.  Hardwire CDC descriptors when missing
 3.  Use 1KB buffer in rndis_unbind
 4.  Halt device if rndis_bind fails
 5.  Fix rndis packet filter flags
 6.  Split up rndis_host.c
 7.  Add Wireless Extensions for rndis_host
 8.  Use wlan device name for RNDIS wireless devices

The first five patches are more generic fixes that I think can be applied as they are. Of these, patch 2 is required to get these wireless devices working.
Patches 6-8 introduce some larger changes that may need a closer look.

All these patches should be applied in order. The entire series should apply cleanly to current linux kernel and net-2.6.25 trees.

regards,
Bjorge Dijkstra
