      [PATCH] WE-20 for kernel 2.6.16 · 711e2c33
      Jean Tourrilhes 提交于
      	This is version 20 of the Wireless Extensions. This is the
      completion of the RtNetlink work I started early 2004, it enables the
      full Wireless Extension API over RtNetlink.
      
      	Few comments on the patch :
      	o totally driver transparent, no change in drivers needed.
      	o iwevent were already RtNetlink based since they were created
      (around 2.5.7). This adds all the regular SET and GET requests over
      RtNetlink, using the exact same mechanism and data format as iwevents.
      	o This is a Kconfig option, as currently most people have no
      need for it. Surprisingly, patch is actually small and well
      encapsulated.
      	o Tested on SMP, attention as been paid to make it 64 bits clean.
      	o Code do probably too many checks and could be further
      optimised, but better safe than sorry.
      	o RtNetlink based version of the Wireless Tools available on
      my web page for people inclined to try out this stuff.
      
      	I would also like to thank Alexey Kuznetsov for his helpful
      suggestions to make this patch better.
