Something a bit after my patches. I rebased it though.

I could do that. But it'd be a lot of work for little gain. If you
really want that let me know, otherwise I'll send you a few new patches
that make driver_nl80211 almost usable.

For the time being it is, indeed, specific to mac80211. I would hope,
however, that non-mac80211 drivers can pick up the cfg80211 API (it is,
after all, easily implemented, see net/mac80211/cfg.c) and we can use
this driver with anything that supports it.

Ah, ok. Yeah, I had a mistake there with the additional definitions and
removed some ioctls later. I'll rebase my patches on your current tree
starting with the rename then. The const bssid was indeed a "revert"
because you added the const in your version of the bssid patch and I had
this rename patch based on my original version of that (w/o const).

Thanks,
