This not correct.

sizeof(pname) is 4 here, but the buffer that is really used is "char 
proto_name[6];"

6 chars are needed for storing "N-24G" (see rtllib_modes), so 5 chars + 
ending \0.



When you will send a v2, here are a few others things you could give a 
look at:
    - is 'pname' really needed or is 'proto_name' enough?
    - what about the "*pname = '\0';" after the loop?
    - if a "mode" matches, do we need to iterate the whole rtllib_modes 
array? (have a look at wireless_mode)
