[PATCH] WE-19 for kernel 2.6.13
Hi Jeff, This is version 19 of the Wireless Extensions. It was supposed to be the fallback of the WPA API changes, but people seem quite happy about it (especially Jouni), so the patch is rather small. The patch has been fully tested with 2.6.13 and various wireless drivers, and is in its final version. Would you mind pushing that into Linus's kernel so that the driver and the apps can take advantage ot it ? It includes : o iwstat improvement (explicit dBm). This is the result of long discussions with Dan Williams, the authors of NetworkManager. Thanks to him for all the fruitful feedback. o remove pointer from event stream. I was not totally sure if this pointer was 32-64 bits clean, so I'd rather remove it and be at peace with it. o remove linux header from wireless.h. This has long been requested by people writting user space apps, now it's done, and it was not even painful. o final deprecation of spy_offset. You did not like it, it's now gone for good. o Start deprecating dev->get_wireless_stats -> debloat netdev o Add "check" version of event macros for ieee802.11 stack. Jiri Benc doesn't like the current macros, we aim to please ;-) All those changes, except the last one, have been bit-roting on my web pages for a while... Patches for most kernel drivers will follow. Patches for the Orinoco and the HostAP drivers have been sent to their respective maintainers. Have fun...
