This section in wireless 2.6 already differed by quite a bit from that in 
2.6.18-rcX. As a result, John Linville thinks that applying this patch to 2.6.18 
would lead to messiness in the git trees and has recommended that I hold the 
patch until it can be sent to the stable maintainers for inclusion in 2.6.18.y. 
Yes there will be a regression against 2.6.17.
