[PATCH] kernel 2.5.4x supported for hostap-2002-10-12

Hi,

Here is my little hack for the hostap working under 2.5.46. From a kernel
version around 2.5.40, the task queue is not longer support, instead, it 
use workqueue to replace it. the workqueue has better support for SMP,
scheduling etc. 

Here is the changelog,

	- use workqueue to replace the taskqueue
	- add extra CFLAGS in Makefile to make compilation OK
	- use KERNEL_VERSION checking to make it compatible 
	  with old kernel version.

That's it, now the drivering working very well on my laptop. 

Have fun,
Huagang
