Please apply Click's etc/ns-2.30-patch to a fresh ns-2.30 tree, and build

I found a small bug in WirelessInfo. See attached patch for more info.
So far I didn't discover any other problems in a fresh ns-2.30 tree.

I agree. I compared the 802.11 mac and the 802.3 mac from both ns2 versions
and there were no significant changes.
So I assume that support for ns-2.29 can be dropped. Unless someone else on
