This creates a character device called ar1520 and lets userspace talk to it through it. My only concern against this approach is that it this requires a custom userspace application for reseting the device, waking it up and for blocking reads through ioctl. The character device can be used to read/write data to it as well. I'll try to get more information and details on the userspace application and document stuff here: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ar5120 In the meantime some review and testing would be appreciated as I modified the original code a bit.
