Please, just drop this, I'm going to fix it up since you seem persistent on just passing the buck around and not realizing what the core issue is. You can't fix these problems in userspace, it's not elegant, and it buys nothing but pain for users. Everyone who writes some user code that uses wext ioctls has to do this conversion crap, that's totally bogus and absolutely beyond unreasonable. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
