Hi Marcelo,
Could you add this in 2.4.21 ?
This patch update Wireless Extensions to v15. This is the same
patch that went into kernel 2.5.37, but rediffed and tested with
2.4.20.
Mostly enhanced iwpriv support for the HostAP driver (outside
the kernel), with few cleanups and new unused definitions. The most
contention change is that this version now requires user space to
provide the buffer size when making a GET (to check buffer overrun),
which will break very old version of Wireless Tools (v22 and earlier -
not even Debian stable ship a version that old ;-).
Thanks...
Jean
