Bug#364458: Suggestion for documentation

I fiddled with 'iwconfig' a bit more and discovered that the 'repeater'and 'secondary' modes also don't seem to be supported. Here's a suggestion for a note to acknowledge the issue:

Note: This version of the driver implements the Ad-Hoc, Managed (station / client), Master (access point) and Monitor (rfmonitor / sniffer) modes. The Repeater, Secondary and Auto modes are not supported. Attempting to set the interface to them will generate an error, and the  mode will remain unchanged. Managing the interface with the Debian networking utilities 'ifdown' and 'ifscheme' will also generate the same error since 'ifdown' issues 'mode auto', and 'ifscheme' issues 'ifdown' when changing schemes.

I suppose this could go in the README.Debian somewhere in section 3.
