                                                               ^^^^^
pname is a pointer, not an array, so this doesn't work.

                        ^^^^^^^^
pname is incremented here.

What this loop is doing is that it's going through all the network modes and
adding to the string.  You should look at the rtllib_modes[] array and ensure
that if we printed every string it would fit into pname.  (Currently that is not
the case.  Probably not all network modes are possible.  But I have looked at
this code and I'm saying that we should just ensure that we could handle it if
they were all possible).

Feel free to re-format the code how ever you want to make that happen.
