It would be nice, but I haven't thought of an easy way to do this,
and I haven't noticed any other drivers
that found a way.

I *could* add a lot of #defines and do something like: data[STA_STATE_IDX] = sta->state,
and maybe create the strings array at run-time using macros to map string to
an idx define instead of have a static array of char*.  But, I'm not sure if
it's worth the effort.

Thanks,
Ben
