Hmm.. If I understood your design correctly, iwspy ioctl's were from
driver code to main kernel. That is fine for me. It will make the driver
code a bit more complex with all those conditional #if blocks for
different wireless extension versions since I'm going to keep supporting
the older versions, but I think I can manage with it.

'iwlist wlan0 ap' shows "Access Point in range".. Will this also change
to show something else? And will there be some kind of flag that will
differentiate APs from associated stations?

Merged into Host AP CVS with couple of minor changes due to differences
between 2002-10-12 release and CVS head.

Above comments were about this patch and I already replied to your
private message about WE-16 in a separate email.
