Bugzilla Bug 52478

Seeking through net-wireless/wireless-tools/ ebuilds I see that wireless.h is
not installed into /usr/include by ebuilds (only iwlib.h is).
The problem is that wireless extensions *needs* wireless.h as stated on:
  /usr/include/iwlib.h : 130
    /* Private copy of Wireless extensions */
    #include <wireless.h>
The 2.6 kernel installs its wireless.h header into /usr/src/linux, but the
header need by wireless-tools is the one it ships with, please add it when
installing on the wireless-tools/*latest* ebuilds.

Side effects:
kdenetwork/wifi programs won't be compiled

Things offuscating the problem:
maybe if someone is running an old box (probably the mantainer too), the header
was installed properly so the problem doesn't appear.

Thank you guys!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Check if /usr/include/wireless.h exists [no]
2.Check if /usr/include/linux/wireless.h exists [yes]
3.Check what /usr/include/iwlib.h includes [/usr/include/wireless.h]
--or--
1.Try to configure kdenetwork/wifi [fails complaining of missing wireless
extensions]

This make sense, but i'm still a tad unhappy about the WE version craziness
right now. Some of the structs for range stuff changed at one point, making
things like wavemon freak out if having 2.6/2.4 kernel header/kernel mixes,
etc. I'm away from my dev box currently, but I'll probably add the header
install this week.

Okay, i've bump wireless-tools, and in the process have made wireless-tools
install wireless.h, I may also revision bump the current stable wireless-tools
to get it installed for other people.

Okay, i've just revision bumped v26 of wireless tools and added wireless.h in
that ebuild. Marking FIXED. please reopen if more is needed on this front.
