[PATCH] wireless: WE-20 compatibility for ESSID and NICKN ioctls
WE-21 changed the ABI for the SIOC[SG]IW{ESSID,NICKN} ioctls by dropping NULL termination. This patch adds compatibility code so that WE-21 can work properly with WE-20 (and older) tools. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
