We currently hand-force the version of the wireless extensions with:

FORCE_WEXT_VERSION = 12

We should grab it from the kernel/linux source here:

    ./include/linux/wireless.h:#define WIRELESS_EXT 13

This will likely mean a SRCDEP and so forth.  We're currently just
keeping it up to date, but that's not the right way.  INkblot may know
the best way to do this.

The new KERNEL_WIRELESS_EXT variable in kernel/linux/package-api.mk
now exports the version of the Wireless Extensions that are being
built in the kernel.  Packages which need this value should add
"kernel/linux/package-api.mk" to GAR_EXTRA_CONF before including
gar.mk.

wireless-tools has been modified to use this facility and properly
receives the version number from the kernel.
