[PATCH] WE-20 for kernel 2.6.16
This is version 20 of the Wireless Extensions. This is the
completion of the RtNetlink work I started early 2004, it enables the
full Wireless Extension API over RtNetlink.
Though this is/was pulled, and the upcoming mac80211 configuration
interface should have netlink support.
This does not discount your other claims about netlink annoyances when
used for interface configuration (unreliable, async, etc.), which I tend
to agree with.
