[PATCH] WE-20 for kernel 2.6.16

	This is version 20 of the Wireless Extensions. This is the
completion of the RtNetlink work I started early 2004, it enables the
full Wireless Extension API over RtNetlink.

	Few comments on the patch :
	o totally driver transparent, no change in drivers needed.
	o iwevent were already RtNetlink based since they were created
(around 2.5.7). This adds all the regular SET and GET requests over
RtNetlink, using the exact same mechanism and data format as iwevents.
	o This is a Kconfig option, as currently most people have no
need for it. Surprisingly, patch is actually small and well
encapsulated.
	o Tested on SMP, attention as been paid to make it 64 bits clean.
	o Code do probably too many checks and could be further
optimised, but better safe than sorry.
	o RtNetlink based version of the Wireless Tools available on
my web page for people inclined to try out this stuff.

	I would also like to thank Alexey Kuznetsov for his helpful
suggestions to make this patch better.
