[Bug 37120] Re: rt2500 driver does not implement wireless extensions correctly

[Chris Wagner]

Thanks for the detail Andrew.

Would you (or anyone else) happen to know what the ''interface'' used by
the wireless command line tools is?  I've been snooping around the
kernel source, and it looks like the Wireless Extensions interface
consists of a bunch of functions with names like
''driver_wx_get_attribute()'' and ''driver_wx_set_attribute()''.  For
example, the ipw2200 driver has a function name ''ipw_wx_get_essid()''
for retrieving a device's associated ESSID.  I figure, there must be a
standard set of functions used by the command line tools; it might be as
simple as ''wrapping'' those up in some
xxx_wx_set_xxx()/xxx_wx_get_xxx() functions (?).
