  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - Remove the ifrename package; it conflicts with our own udev package
      which provides /etc/iftab support.

    - Remove the ifrename package; it conflicts with our own udev package
      which provides /etc/iftab support.
  * Dropped changes
    - Add iwlist and iwevent to the wireless-tools udeb. We do not use udebs
      anymore...
  * Keep the ifrename.* files to reduce the delta, otherwise we get
    merge conflicts and they are harmless without a package to build...

  * header-with-2.6.36.patch: Replace the if.h header used in iwlib.h by
    the one provided by the kernel instead of using the one from libc. The
    kernel headers now provide the same structures and linux/if.h would
    otherwise conflict, since it gets pulled in from wireless.h. (LP: #672584)

  * Don't try to outsmart the compiler and don't redefine `inline' in an
    installed header file. LP: #435793.

    /* Make gcc understant that when we say inline, we mean it.
     * I really hate when the compiler is trying to be more clever than me,
     * because in this case gcc is not able to figure out functions with a
     * single call site, so not only I have to tag those functions inline
     * by hand, but then it refuse to inline them properly.
     * Total saving for iwevent : 150B = 0.7%.
     * Fortunately, in gcc 3.4, they now automatically inline static functions
     * with a single call site. Hurrah !

  * Revert change to bring up the interface before changing wireless
    settings; the softmac driver this was implemented for is now
    obsolete, no other drivers are reported to need it, and it
    introduces other problems such as breaking PPP interfaces
    (LP: #268519) and preventing configuration of some settings such as
    hardware addresses (LP: #219520).
