[PATCH] libertas: fix a few wext abuses...

o SIOCGIWNAME is not designed to return the version number of the driver.
On the other hand, you are free to abuse SIOCGIWNICKN for that purpose.

o Don't attempt to fix the WE19/WE20 transition in the driver, because
your fixes are bogus, and redundant with the code in the kernel (you may
endup with +2, you can't read 32 char ESSID...).

o In SIOCSIWTXPOW, if you specified in iwrange that you want dBm, you
should only get dBm, which allow to reduce code bloat.
