PSARC 2009/143 Atmel AT76C50x USB IEEE 802.11b Wireless Device Driver

[Cecilia Hu]

I am sponsoring this case for Tim Chen.  It is to provide a new
wireless(IEEE802.11b) driver, atu(7D), for Atmel AT76C50x USB card.
The requested release binding is micro/patch.

The architecture and interface of it are clear enough to be a self
review, so the case is marked as "closed approved automatic".
