The include file linux/ieee80211.h contains three definitions for
the same thing in enum ieee80211_eid due to historic changes:

/* Information Element IDs */
enum ieee80211_eid {
     :
     WLAN_EID_WPA = 221,
     WLAN_EID_GENERIC = 221,
     WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC = 221,
     :
};

The standard refers to this as "vendor specific" element so the
other two definitions are better not used. This patch changes the
wireless drivers to use one definition, ie. WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC.

Why not remove _WPA and _GENERIC from ieee80211.h at the same time so
that nobody else won't use them in the future?

Actually doing that in patch #3/3.

Arend
