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

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.

The prism54 and rtl8712 drivers use WLAN_EID_GENERIC as well, but have
their own definition so those are not changed. They may consider using
linux/ieee80211.h.
Arend,
Thanks for the r8712u suggestion.
