This is version 18 of the Wireless Extensions. The main change is that it
adds all the necessary APIs for WPA and WPA2 support. This work was
entirely done by Jouni Malinen, so let's thank him for both his hard work
and deep expertise on the subject ;-)
This APIs obviously doesn't do much by itself and works in concert with
driver support (Jouni already sent you the HostAP changes) and userspace
(Jouni is updating wpa_supplicant). This is also orthogonal with the
ongoing work on in-kernel IEEE support (but potentially useful).
The patch is attached, tested with 2.6.11. Normally, I would ask you to
push that directly in the kernel (99% of the patch has been on my web page
for ages and it does not affect non-WPA stuff), but Jouni convinced me that
it should bake a few weeks in wireless-2.6
