  13 /*
  14  * Basically, the wireless extensions are for now a set of standard ioctl
  15  * call + /proc/net/wireless
  16  *
  17  * The entry /proc/net/wireless give statistics and information on the
  18  * driver.
  19  * This is better than having each driver having its entry because
  20  * its centralised and we may remove the driver module safely.
  21  *
  22  * Ioctl are used to configure the driver and issue commands.  This is
  23  * better than command line options of insmod because we may want to
  24  * change dynamically (while the driver is running) some parameters.
  25  *
  26  * The ioctl mechanimsm are copied from standard devices ioctl.
  27  * We have the list of command plus a structure descibing the
  28  * data exchanged...
  29  * Note that to add these ioctl, I was obliged to modify :
  30  *      net/core/dev.c (two place + add include)
  31  *      net/ipv4/af_inet.c (one place + add include)
  32  *
  33  * /proc/net/wireless is a copy of /proc/net/dev.
  34  * We have a structure for data passed from the driver to /proc/net/wireless
  35  * Too add this, I've modified :
  36  *      net/core/dev.c (two other places)
  37  *      include/linux/netdevice.h (one place)
  38  *      include/linux/proc_fs.h (one place)
  39  *
  40  * Do not add here things that are redundant with other mechanisms
  41  * (drivers init, ifconfig, /proc/net/dev, ...) and with are not
  42  * wireless specific.
  43  *
  44  * These wireless extensions are not magic : each driver has to provide
  45  * support for them...
  46  *
  47  * IMPORTANT NOTE : As everything in the kernel, this is very much a
  48  * work in progress. Contact me if you have ideas of improvements...

  69  * Changes :
  70  *
  71  * V2 to V3
  72  * --------
  73  *      Alan Cox start some incompatibles changes. I've integrated a bit more.
  74  *      - Encryption renamed to Encode to avoid US regulation problems
  75  *      - Frequency changed from float to struct to avoid problems on old 386
  76  *
  77  * V3 to V4
  78  * --------
  79  *      - Add sensitivity
  80  *
  81  * V4 to V5
  82  * --------
  83  *      - Missing encoding definitions in range
  84  *      - Access points stuff
  85  *
  86  * V5 to V6
  87  * --------
  88  *      - 802.11 support (ESSID ioctls)
  89  *
  90  * V6 to V7
  91  * --------
  92  *      - define IW_ESSID_MAX_SIZE and IW_MAX_AP
  93  *
  94  * V7 to V8
  95  * --------
  96  *      - Changed my e-mail address
  97  *      - More 802.11 support (nickname, rate, rts, frag)
  98  *      - List index in frequencies
  99  *
 100  * V8 to V9
 101  * --------
 102  *      - Support for 'mode of operation' (ad-hoc, managed...)
 103  *      - Support for unicast and multicast power saving
 104  *      - Change encoding to support larger tokens (>64 bits)
 105  *      - Updated iw_params (disable, flags) and use it for NWID
 106  *      - Extracted iw_point from iwreq for clarity
