And it might be smaller object code for some arches
to use one DPRINTK call for each line.

Probably more readable in the logs too with each line
timestamped instead of just the first line.

(and use %pM assuming bssid is char)

DPRINTK(4, " bssid=%pM\n", ap->bssid);
DPRINTK(4, " essud=%s\n", ap->ssid.body);
DPRINTK(4, "    rate_set=%02X,%02X,%02X,%02X,%02X,%02X,%02X,%02X\n",
ap->rate_set.body[0], ap->rate_set.body[1],
ap->rate_set.body[2], ap->rate_set.body[3],
ap->rate_set.body[4], ap->rate_set.body[5],
ap->rate_set.body[6], ap->rate_set.body[7]);
DPRINTK(4, " channel=%d\n", ap->channel);
DPRINTK(4, " rssi=%d\n", ap->rssi);
DPRINTK(4, " sq=%d\n", ap->sq);
DPRINTK(4, " capability=%04X\n", ap->capability);
