  Log:
  Add device driver support for the Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11 PCMCIA
  adapter (and some workalikes). Also add man pages and a wicontrol
  utility to manipulate some of the card parameters.
  
  This driver was written using information gleaned from the Lucent HCF Light
  library, though it does not use any of the HCF Light code itself, mainly
  because it's contaminated by the GPL (but also because it's pretty gross).
  The HCF Light lacks certain featurs from the full (but proprietary) HCF
  library, including 802.11 frame encapsulation support, however it has
  just enough register information about the Hermes chip to allow someone
  with enough spare time and energy to implement a proper driver. (I would
  have prefered getting my hands on the Hermes manual, but that's proprietary
  too. For those who are wondering, the Linux driver uses the proprietary
  HCF library, but it's provided in object code form only.)
  
  Note that I do not have access to a WavePOINT access point, so I have
  only been able to test ad-hoc mode. The wicontrol utility can turn on
  BSS mode, but I don't know for certain that the NIC will associate with
  an access point correctly. Testers are encouraged to send their results
  to me so that I can find out if I screwed up or not.
