I was trying to use wireless-dev.. Which branch includes the values
shown above? I don't see them in either master or even everything..
(git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-dev.git)

OK. If there were a pre-release version, that would likely make this
quite a bit easier. Gentoo actually includes 1.0-pre6 which is the
latest pre-release and as such, I was kind of hoping for it to be new
enough. Then again, once I looked at the release date, I noticed it's
already a year old.. I don't really want to depend on this unless there
is a good likelyhood of there being a proper release with the needed
functionality in somewhat near future.
