Karl sent me a patch a few days before you that also added this
functionality.

Unfortunatly, both of your patches don't apply to the latest version of
the wlan-ng driver as it has had a lot of work done on it recently.

Could one of you grab the linux-next tree and make a patch up against
the version in it so that I can apply this?

thanks,
