[PATCH] WE-21 support (core API)
This is version 21 of the Wireless Extensions. Changelog :
o finishes migrating the ESSID API (remove the +1)
o netdev->get_wireless_stats is no more
o long/short retry
This is a redacted version of a patch originally submitted by Jean
Tourrilhes. I removed most of the additions, in order to minimize
future support requirements for nl80211 (or other WE successor).
