Isn't that precisely an argument for _not_ using net->gen[] with all the
additional dynamic allocations that implies? I'm not really against
doing this, but it does make the third patch more complex, requiring the
new wext_net->net pointer, and given allocations (rounded up) will take
more space - for something always present - than just going with the
existing scheme?

What's the reason to use net->gen[]?
