Perhaps I should explain my question a bit better. The <session> is just 
mentioned as an example.
With the ndiswrapper the wifi is working proper and lists the available 
network (only mine shown), e.g.

SSID            BSSID              CHAN RATE   S:N     INT CAPS
DV201AM         00:13:d4:7a:16:b1    1   54M -51:-96  100 EP
....

The wificonfig tool _assumes_ the output of ifconfig would look like.
SSID            BSSID              CHAN RATE   S:N     INT CAPS
SSID<DV201AM>         00:13:d4:7a:16:b1    1   54M -51:-96  100 EP
....

My question is if there are wifi drivers which report the SSID like 
this, instead of reporting them
directly as in my case and if so how the output is formatted in that case.

Hope this clarifies my question a bit.
