This file is a copy of a header file from the Linux kernel and it must
not be edited within hostap.git.

No nl80211 definitions should be used outside
src/drivers/driver_nl80211.c, i.e., you will need to define a driver
independent way of doing this (just a new enum). Please also note that
this function returns an undefined value if freq is not recognized. It
would be better to return an explicit error value instead (and that will
be trivial with the nl80211_band replaced).
