The Linux wireless developers don't want to hear anything about the
staging wireless drivers, for a wide range of miopic reasons.
The following patch, based on a patch from Johannes Berg, tries to
document this issue a bit better.

Add a mutex to block ioctls before the card is fully initialised and
only allow one ioctl at a time.
This stops udev trying to load the firmware before to card is fully up.
patch ported from wlan-ng-devel
Karl Relton <karllinuxtest.relton@ntlworld.com> spotted that this was
missing from the staging version,

ARRAY_SIZE is more concise to use when the size of an array is divided by
the size of its type or the size of its first element.

wlan-ng needed to interact with userspace, and support very old kernels,
so it used to define its own types for integers to ensure consistency.
It's all rather irrelevant now.

In this driver, netdev's private data is wlandevice_t. And the
wlandev(type of wlandevice_t) is exist before netdev be allocated. So
use netdev->ml_priv to point to the private data.
I am not sure whether I should consider the kernel version older than
2.3.38. Because in those kernels, netdevice_t is "structure dev"
instead of "structure net_device" and of course "dev->ml_priv" will
cause compile error. But before my patch, in function wlan_setup(),
there is a ether_setup(net_device) which already broke kernels which
older than 2.3.38.
