Dave,

In this round we have two more-or-less-one-liners intended for 2.6.25.

The hostap fix is the third (and hopefully final) bite at the apple
for correcting an initialization failure.  The first two attempts
created and then reinstated a regression caused by a discrepency
between the PCI and PCMCIA support within hostap.  The regression
was caused by checking the value of dev->base_addr, which the PCI
code was not setting.  Testing by the regression reporter indicates
that his device is finally working again with this fix.

The rt2x00 fix merely reorders some initialization so that unwinding
that init in an error path works as expected.

Please let me know if there are problems!

Thanks,

John
