I think the format is indeed pretty ugly, can't we just do:
git log v0.9.8..v0.9.9 > ChangeLog

iw: fix typo, add few references
This fixes a small typo s/ip/iw, and adds references
to the other new wireless subsystem userspace applications/files.
Lets also point users to the iw wiki as it has lots of good stuff.
