	I can't comment on your patch.
	However, HostAP has already support for iwspy with
WE-16. Which means that if you upgrade to kernel 2.6.0 or 2.4.23-pre4
(when released), or if you patch your kernel with WE-16 (see my web
page), it should all work properly.

	No, it's not. Other drivers supporting iwspy allow you to
enter any address you want, even invalid.

	Good luck...
