staging: brcm80211: moved several README items to website

Intended audience for the README file are users of the driver.
Information only interesting to developers has been moved out of
the file and placed on the website:

http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/brcm80211

Also, resolved bugs have been removed from the README.

 Broadcom Mac80211 driver
 
-This is a driver in progress.  It has features still to be implemented well as
-bugs in current code.
-
-
-What's here and not here
-=======================
-- Completely open source host driver, no binary object files
-- Features Broadcom's OneDriver architecture (single source base for
-  supported chips and architectures)
-- On-chip firmware loaded using standard request_firmware()
-- Support for BCM43224, BCM43225, BCM4313 (PCIe NIC)
-- Framework for supporting new chips, including mac80211-aware embedded chips
-- Does not support older PCI/PCIe chips with SSB backplane
-- Driver includes BMAC interface for transparent dongle support
-- Uses minstrel_ht rate algorithm
-- HW based encryption not enabled yet
-
-
-What's done
-==========
-- Integration with mac80211 stack
-- A-MPDU single & dual stream rates
-- BCM43224:    Dualband, Dual stream, 20MHz channels
-       Throughput (in chamber): ~85-90 Mbits/sec (in both 2.4 & 5 GHz bands)
-- BCM43225:    2.4 GHz, Dual Stream, 20MHz channels
-       Throughput (in chamber): ~85-90 Mbits/sec
-- BCM4313:             2.4 GHz, Single Stream
-       Throughput (in chamber): ~40 Mbits/sec

 - Occasional crashes with BCM43224 on multicore machines.
 
 
-Note on Regulatory Implementation
-================================
-This generation of chips contain additional regulatory support independent of
-the driver. The devices use a single worldwide regulatory domain, with channels
-12-14 (2.4 GHz band) and channels 52-64 and 100-140 (5 GHz band) restricted to
-passive operation. Transmission on those channels is suppressed until
-appropriate other traffic is observed on those channels.
-
-Within the driver, we use the ficticious country code "X2" to represent this
-worldwide regulatory domain. There is currently no interface to configure a
-different domain.
-
-The driver reads the SROM country code from the chip and hands it up to
-mac80211 as the regulatory hint, however this information is otherwise unused
-with the driver.
