There are two changes of note here; first the crash-on-onload (which was
fixed some time ago but I was too lazy to roll another release) and more
recently, the sniffing code has been heavily mangled so that it's far
more efficient when you want to just change channels. This effectively
ends the "100% cpu load" that many people were seeing when running
kismet or something similar. It's not perfect yet, but it's far better.

Also, I've been doing more work on the wireless extension support; I'm
considering taking the approach of HostAP and dropping support for older
(v12 and older) versions of WE to greatly ease the pain of implementation.

Changes since -pre15:

-pre16
  - Implement wireless extension SETCHANNEL. (SIOCSIWFREQ)
    - Currently broken. :)
  - Fix several sniffing-related bugs:
    - disable when we're already disabled
    - no longer perform a full h/w reset when we're already enabled
    - Vastly reduce CPU usage on channel hop.
  - Fix a crash on unload for pci/plx widgets (Pavel Roskin)
