If you need auxiliary data in the userspace application, define an auxiliary structure which references the thing you get back from the kernel. I totally disagree with embedding things in kernel defined interfaces that are purely userland internal data structures. You really need to clean up the way you handle the wireless kernel APIs, it is getting worse not better and you really do not use good judgment or good interface design practices when you makes these changes. Everything is one big hack. I will seriously NACK wireless API changes like this until the situation starts to improve. - 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
