Thanks!

Well, it breaks stats for other modes.. However, it pushed me to clean
up the stats collecting routines so that they are updated just from one
place. This patch did not change anything for the STA entry expiration,
so it is likely to be incorrect for non-Master modes..

Since Linux 2.4.23 is apparently coming with wireless ext ver16, this
patch is likely to be quite shortlived (ver16 implements iwspy in the
generic wireless code). Anyway, for completeness sake, I added the
SIOCSIWSPY handler for wireless ext <= 15 as a bit cleaned up version
this patch. I did not bother fixing the STA entry expiration because
this code is going to go away with wireless ext v16.
