Any particular reason you want nickname? AFAIK it was only used for
compat with pre-802.11 stuff like WaveLAN and such. It's pretty much
useless these days. Some drivers used it to signal whether they were
connected or not, but that's a completely bogus use of nickname and not
something that mac80211 should support.
