Part 8 of 8 to add wireless statistics to the bcm43xx-d80211 system.
This patch adds the appropriate range parameters and routine
ieee80211_get_wireless_stats to ieee80211_ioctl.c.

The patch is for the August 8 version of Linville's wireless-dev tree.

What does the 'if (!sta)' check do?  What's the case here?  If the card
is not connected an access point or otherwise unconnected to anything
else, you should use IW_QUAL_ALL_INVALID here I think, because signal
quality has no meaning when you're disconnected (except possibly
background noise).

By using IW_QUAL_DBM, you're forcing all cards that use d80211 to report
statistics in dBm.  I think that's a _good_ thing personally (it brings
some consistency to the whole wireless quality pit-of-doom), but I want
to make sure this is actually what you want to do here.

The check is mostly to prevent NULL pointers in the else branch, but your 
suggestion of INVALID is good.

 From what I learned in our previous discussions, that is exactly what I meant.

Thanks for your comments.
