1af3a5b3ea Remove unnecessary comments. 11A read/write is the same: its just the
classic indirect register dance.

a8ab9edd25 Fix a typo from the original driver. We need to write ctrl2 into RF
register 0x52, not ctrl1.  This appears to be a mistake in the bcm
reverse engineering page, and has been corrected there.  Tracing
through the code, this is more in keeping with the "documented"
register. Sephe thinks it looks interesting and may be worth
fixing. :)

c3fa533bb1 Add a short delay after programming PHY registers to give some time for
the engine to catch up. This prevents a machine check exception from
illegal memory requests with a BCM4318.

760b5bd33c Bring in Andrew Thompson's port of Sepherosa Ziehau's bwi driver for
Broadcom BCM43xx chipsets.  This driver uses the v3 firmware that
needs to be fetched separately.  A port will be committed to create
the bwi firmware module.

The driver matches the following chips: Broadcom BCM4301, BCM4307,
BCM4306, BCM4309, BCM4311, BCM4312, BCM4318, BCM4319

The driver works for 802.11b and 802.11g.

Limitations:
	This doesn't support the 802.11a or 802.11n portion of radios.
	Some BCM4306 and BCM4309 cards don't work with Channel 1, 2 or 3.
	Documenation for this firmware is reverse engineered from
		 http://bcm.sipsolutions.net/
	V4 of the firmware is needed for 11a or 11n support
		 http://bcm-v4.sipsolutions.net/
	Firmware needs to be fetched from a third party, port to be committed

# I've tested this with a BCM4319 mini-pci and a BCM4318 CardBus card, and
# not connected it to the build until the firmware port is committed.
