iwe.u.name and proto_name have both 16 bytes of space. But when writing to iwe.u.name the first 10 bytes are used by the fixed string "IEEE802.11". Evaluating the code shows that only the following strings can occur in proto_name: "N-24G", "g", "b", "bg". Therefore it is sufficient to shorten proto_name to 6 bytes.
