I guess that's a bug which creeped in when I ported the patches from our
internal tree. I'll just remove plt start/stop functions altogether,
they need to ported to the new nl80211 test mode interface anyway.

Oh damn, I just noticed that I added wl1251_netlink.c accidentally to
wireless-testing tree. It should definitely not be there, instead we
need to use nl80211 test command interface. I'll send a patch to remove
the private netlink stuff soon. John, sorry about this.
