/************************** DOCUMENTATION **************************/
/*
* Basically, the wireless extensions are for now a set of standard ioctl
* call + /proc/net/wireless
*
* The entry /proc/net/wireless give statistics and information on the
* driver.
* This is better than having each driver having its entry because
* its centralised and we may remove the driver module safely.
*
* Ioctl are used to configure the driver and issue commands. This is
* better than command line options of insmod because we may want to
* change dynamically (while the driver is running) some parameters.
*
* The ioctl mechanimsm are copied from standard devices ioctl.
* We have the list of command plus a structure descibing the
* data exchanged...
* Note that to add these ioctl, I was obliged to modify :
* net/core/dev.c (two place + add include)
* net/ipv4/af_inet.c (one place + add include)
*
* /proc/net/wireless is a copy of /proc/net/dev.
* We have a structure for data passed from the driver to /proc/net/wireless
* Too add this, I've modified :
* net/core/dev.c (two other places)
* include/linux/netdevice.h (one place)
* include/linux/proc_fs.h (one place)
*
* Do not add here things that are redundant with other mechanisms
* (drivers init, ifconfig, /proc/net/dev, ...) and with are not
* wireless specific.
*
* These wireless extensions are not magic : each driver has to provide
* support for them...
*
* IMPORTANT NOTE : As everything in the kernel, this is very much a
* work in progress. Contact me if you have ideas of improvements...

* Changes :

* V2 to V3
* --------
* Alan Cox start some incompatibles changes. I've integrated a bit more.
* - Encryption renamed to Encode to avoid US regulation problems
* - Frequency changed from float to struct to avoid problems on old 386
*
* V3 to V4
* --------
* - Add sensitivity
*
* V4 to V5
* --------
* - Missing encoding definitions in range
* - Access points stuff
*
* V5 to V6
* --------
* - 802.11 support (ESSID ioctls)
*
* V6 to V7
* --------
* - define IW_ESSID_MAX_SIZE and IW_MAX_AP
