Any particular reason you want nickname? AFAIK it was only used for compat with pre-802.11 stuff like WaveLAN and such. It's pretty much useless these days. Some drivers used it to signal whether they were connected or not, but that's a completely bogus use of nickname and not something that mac80211 should support.
