Move the STD_IW_HANDLER macro from orinoco to wireless.h Use the wireless.h macros in various wireless files Remove local #defines of IW_IOCTL Joe Perches (7): wireless.h: Add STD_IW_HANDLER macro net/wireless/wext_core.c: Use IW_IOCTL_IDX macro net/wireless/wext-core.c: Use IW_EVENT_IDX macro drivers/... 18 Mar 2010 02:40

[PATCH v2 7/7] wireless.h: Use SIOCIWFIRST not SIOCSIWCOMMIT for range check
