Thanks. This looks interesting but doesn't compile right now:

$ make
Checking netlink numbers:
check.r5cOZHc/check.c: In function 'main':
check.r5cOZHc/check.c:63: error: lvalue required as left operand of
assignment
check.r5cOZHc/check.c:78: error: 'NL80211_CHAN_MAX' undeclared (first
use in this function)
check.r5cOZHc/check.c:78: error: (Each undeclared identifier is
reported only once
check.r5cOZHc/check.c:78: error: for each function it appears in.)
check.r5cOZHc/check.c:80: error: lvalue required as left operand of
assignment
check.r5cOZHc/check.c:86: error: 'NL80211_RATE_MAX' undeclared (first
use in this function)
[...]

The parsing of nl80211 seems to fail. If I find some time, I try to
look at it.

That's good enough :)
