Compatibility list

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I posted request of tester environment to forum.
because someone post "I install software update of airport and dont work
iwi2200".

v6-test is compiled in 10.4.8(io80211family 10.4.8).

if we can know status in users environment,
we decide what kind of compilation environment in next release. 
(should we provide new release only in newer io80211family or 
  provide binaries per io80211family ? )

jalavoui,what do you think about this?

i'll test the driver without io80211family to check if it run faster (i'll use 
ionetworkcontroller)

i believe in the future apple will use intel cards and the io80211family will 
probally be compatible with iwi220 
- this could be a good reason to keep the io80211family.

looks like the io80211family requires an entry point in the driver. if we 
manage to understand how this work 
we can change the iwi2200 code to make it work with io80211family code - maybe 
in the future.

if the driver crashes with new releases of io80211family users can allways go 
back to previous releases - let 
them decide what to do.

i'll try to port the code of gtdriver (kismac) to check if we can improve rx/tx 
speed

if exclude making UI, moving to ionetworkcontrolller  may be good.

we find the reason that occure performance problem before poting gtdriver.

almost performance problem in network interface driver happens from many memory 
copy
and blocking and longest isr routine.

I think that porting is danger without finding the reason.
