By "useless", I meant "if you use a WLAN_ prefix like in all other #defines
in that file, it will do the same job". Ok, I understand the argument about
attribution, but it shouldn't be in exchange of consistency and clarity.

Wi-Fi Alliance? Ok, it's "Wi-Fi", but you can use only capitals in macros
and you cannot use dash, so it looks really similar.
