12/************************** DOCUMENTATION **************************/
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

91 * --------
92 * - define IW_ESSID_MAX_SIZE and IW_MAX_AP
93 *
94 * V7 to V8

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
107 *
108 * V9 to V10
109 * ---------
110 * - Add PM capability to range structure
111 * - Add PM modifier : MAX/MIN/RELATIVE
112 * - Add encoding option : IW_ENCODE_NOKEY
