I really don't think we should be extending the useful life of wireless
extensions.
* @signal: signal strength of last received packet in dBm

And are you seriously proposing to make internal mac80211 flags part of
the externally visible cfg80211 API??
It would of course be easy to map them to a stable set of flags, but if you
don't want to fix /proc/net/wireless anyway, then I might as well do minimal changes
to make it easier to keep the patch in my own tree.
Aside from listening to 'iw event', is there any way to know if a STA is scanning,
authenticated, associated, etc? Some of this can be obtained from debugfs, but
that's not a fun api to code against...
Thanks,
