Which is a good sign that separating the patch into couple of shorter
files might have been helpful.. ;-)

Thanks! I merged most of it into CVS tree. Some cleanup was needed for
indentation and trailing white space etc., but other than that, I did
not too much changes. However, I dropped this part for now:

driver.c should be low-level code and processing struct sta_info in it
does not sound a good direction. Actually, I ended up removing
struct sta_info completely from driver.c.

struct sta_info may need to be handled somewhat separately since
different driver interfaces might either share the same structure or
use their own (or have some kind of sub-structure within that
structure etc.).

Some of these changes removed some hapd uses from driver.c, but yes, the
remaining debug cases would benefit from some cleanup.

It was a bit long and partly because of this, it took me some time to
go through everything. In other words, smaller patch files would be
prefered.

OK. Please replace struct sta_info with u8 *addr (i.e., only sta->addr
is needed) when moving ieee802_1x_send_data(). In addition, that could
actually be renamed to ieee802_1x_send_eapol() (and something shorter,
like send_eapol for function pointer).

Btw, please use another thread and more descriptive subject line for
next patch. I have a bit too many messages in NEW state waiting and I
might miss something if the subject line does not describe the contents.
Including PATCH on the line could also be helpful for the same reason.
