new release of py80211 - v1.0-alpha

[Arend van Spriel]

Recently got triggered by Luca and with some free time to spare extended 
the functionality in py80211. It is still mostly about retrieving 
information although it also supports scanning now dealing with 
notifications from the scan multicast group. It has been a fun week 
puzzling on some hurdles. Hopefully I can keep spending more time on 
this personal project and keep momentum.

The project can be found on github and the release notes are here [1].

Regards,
Arend

This is very cool! I was trying your updates for scanning today and it
works great! I already started converting my test modules to use it.

I know the hurdles you were talking about, I had gone through a few of
them, but I was just hacking through, with much less class. ;)

I hope I'll be able to start contributing to your project in the near
future.

Big thanks for getting momentum from my quick query about the state of
the your project. :)

Thanks, Luca

I wrote a couple of wiki pages on github about adding stuff to py80211 
package. I started this project with automated testing in mind so I can 
ultimately replace our current testing stuff, which is focused on the 
prorietary drivers using ioctl-based wl utility, with one using the 
nl80211 api.
