From baef186519c69b11cf7e48c26e75feb1e6173baa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "John W. Linville" Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2006 16:04:05 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] WE-21 support (core API) This is version 21 of the Wireless Extensions. Changelog : o finishes migrating the ESSID API (remove the +1) o netdev->get_wireless_stats is no more o long/short retry This is a redacted version of a patch originally submitted by Jean Tourrilhes. I removed most of the additions, in order to minimize future support requirements for nl80211 (or other WE successor). CC: Jean Tourrilhes Signed-off-by: John W.
