fcbf0b0ca9 Sync wpa_supplicant man page with README changes
The man page source was not up-to-date with removed driver wrappers,
so bring in the wpa_supplicant/README changes to make this somewhat
closer to the current state.

df077c6262 Remove obsolete drivers wrappers: atmel, ndiswrapper, ipw, hermes
There is no real reason to maintain these in the current development
branch anymore. If someone really needs support for the obsolete
driver interfaces, these can be found in older wpa_supplicant
branches.

driver_atmel.c
- vendor-specific interface for ATMEL AT76C5XXx cards
- for some old out-of-tree driver; not for the upstream atmel*
  drivers

driver_ndiswrapper.c
- vendor-specific interface for an out-of-tree driver
- ndiswrapper should work with driver_wext.c, too

driver_ipw.c
- vendor-specific interface for old ipw2100/2200 driver
- the upstream driver works with driver_wext.c (and does not work
  with the old interface)

driver_hermes.c
- vendor driver that was not even included in the main wpa_supplicant
  releases

362f781e1c Allow multiple driver wrappers to be specified on command line
For example, -Dnl80211,wext could be used to automatically select
between nl80211 and wext. The first driver wrapper that is able to
initialize the interface will be used.

e519314ee9 Add RoboSwitch driver interface for wpa_supplicant
Find attached the patch that creates a new driver: roboswitch. This
driver adds support for wired authentication with a Broadcom
RoboSwitch chipset. For example it is now possible to do wired
authentication with a Linksys WRT54G router running OpenWRT.

LIMITATIONS
- At the moment the driver does not support the BCM5365 series (though
adding it requires just some register tweaks).
- The driver is also limited to Linux (this is a far more technical
restriction).
- In order to compile against a 2.4 series you need to edit
include/linux/mii.h and change all references to "u16" in "__u16". I
have submitted a patch upstream that will fix this in a future version
of the 2.4 kernel. [These modifications (and more) are now included in
the kernel source and can be found in versions 2.4.37-rc2 and up.]

USAGE
- Usage is similar to the wired driver. Choose the interfacename of
the vlan that contains your desired authentication port on the router.
This name must be formatted as <interface>.<vlan>, which is the
default on all systems I know.

9d6762cfca man wpa_supplicant: Clearly state which options are given per interface
Documentation appeared a little vague about which options are global and
which are tied to a particular interface. This leads to confusion when
using certain combinations of options, e.g. the command "wpa_supplicant
-c /etc/wpa_supplican.conf -u" will not do what is intuitively expected
from it - it will not read the config file given with -c option because
no -i option was given. This command is still valid because -u option is
used. The wpa_supplicant running like this will also not listen on any
control socket, because the socket file name is usually given in the
config file. This command line also happens to be the default in Fedora 9.
This patch does not try to change any behaviour, but rather document
these nuances clearly.

eff06a7cdb Enhance manpage with use of emphasis instead of strong quote
The Debian package checker "lintian" was making noise about
wpa_supplicant.conf(5). It was caused by a line beginning with ', which is
apparently not liked by man(1).

I suggest the use of <emphasis>word</emphasis> where 'word' is used at the
moment.
