	Attached is a revised patch. I took a slightly different
approach this time, just to make things more interesting. This patch
is not tested, not even compiled, but will give you some rough
idea. It should work for both WE-19 and WE-18, and should compile with
either WE-18 or WE-19.
	I believe the basic problem in the patch from Benoit is that
he did not fix appropriately the 'custom' pointer to point on the
event payload (more appropriately that he fixed it before it was
initialised).

	By the way, SIOCGIWRANGE also change and may break your code,
I added code that should workaround those API changes. Last time I
broke the SIOCGIWRANGE API was...

	BTW, if you have more issues on the subject, would you mind
beeing more precise as to what fails ?

	Have fun...
