	Hi all,

	I've been working a bit more on my current set of Wireless
Extension patches (WPA, Wireless-RtNetlink, ...). I've just updated
them on my personal web page :
	http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html#wext

	The main change is that I'm now happy of the format of
Wireless over RtNetlink, so it should be close to definitive. I've
also split all the minor changes as a separate patch (WE-17), so it
doesn't have to wait for WPA and Wireless-RtNetlink that still need a
bit of work, and I plan to push this patch soon.
	You will also find patches for various drivers to take
advantage of the new features. I would like to thank the various
driver authors that sent me patches, suggestions and comments, and
thank them for their patience.
Regardless of our recent discussions, I do want to emphasize that I wish
to maintain the current WE, and its backwards compatibility, for the
current 2.6.x stable series at the very least.

So please don't be discouraged from submitting WE patches...

	Jeff


P.S. do associated userland wireless-tools patches exist to make use of
netlink?  i.e. how have you been testing it?
