cfg80211/nl80211: implement station attribute retrieval
After a station is added to the kernel's structures, userspace has to be able to retrieve statistics about that station, especially whether the station was idle and how much bytes were transferred to and from it. This adds the necessary code to nl80211. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
