    Subject[PATCH] 2.6.18 atmel iwlist stats patch
    From: Holden Karau <holden@pigscanfly.ca> http://www.holdenkarau.com

    I have made a small patch for the atmel driver [included in the 2.6.18
    kernel] to output signal strength information as part of iwlist scan
    [before it did not output any signal strength related information].
    Signed-off-by: Holden Karau <holden@pigscanfly.ca> http://www.holdenkarau.com
    --
    The output of iwlist scan is frequently used by user space utilites to
    chose which wireless network to connect to based on the reported
    signal strength, so I think this could be useful [of course I could be
    horribly wrong about that but *shrugs*]. Incase the patch gets mangled
    I've also put it up on at
    http://www.holdenkarau.com/~holden/projects/atmel/patches/001-iwlist-stats.patch
    And now for the patch:
