Matan: Yes, i looked at patches, nothing in patches states that it's GPLed.
There are other files included like already patched kernel sources - these are gpled - but alex uploaded the whole thing, including part that may not be GPL licensed (they may as well be, but there is no solid evidence that) .
alexystems: fix your capslock, learn to spell, then learn copyright law (any work is automatically protected by copyright law and original author is only person that has right to distribute it, unless stated otherwise), it's not yours you are merely allowed to use it yourself, or transfer that right to another person. - you could have diffed included gpled source code ( kernel ) and that would create GPLed patches, but that still wouldn't change that it was dick move.

Copyright law is pretty much same all across the Europe.
About your spelling - every single modern browser has spell check built in or has plugins available - it really helps to use them.
Author of these patches had to spend time making them instead of his normal summer job, pays for hosting and had plans to develop them further - so instead of getting some money from summer job he pays for hosting and all he gets is you calling him "selfish bastard".
So, now instead of some other features ( like mentioned eduroam support and other things ) community will get nothing, because i doubt anybody will be willing to develop it further just to be called "selfish bastard", developers deserve to get paid, and he was asking for *any* donation.

Code:
ifconfig wlan0 down iwconfig wlan0 mode Monitor ifconfig wlan0 up
To get back to managed mode:
Code:
ifconfig wlan0 down iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed ifconfig wlan0 up
