Well, iw does it, and i think the reason is to make it build on older systems, for example here on jaunty, <linux/nl80211.h> is tad outdated, and doesn't have the necessary symbols. If we don't ship our own version - compilation fails, if we do ship, then it will fail on runtime and automatically fall back to wext.
