[PATCH] WE-21 support (core API)
This is version 21 of the Wireless Extensions. Changelog : o finishes migrating the ESSID API (remove the +1) o netdev->get_wireless_stats is no more o long/short retry This is a redacted version of a patch originally submitted by Jean Tourrilhes. I removed most of the additions, in order to minimize future support requirements for nl80211 (or other WE successor). CC: Jean Tourrilhes <jt@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
