I don't know who is missing something here, but what I'm saying that (1) is not correct. priv ioctls don't work with compatibility set on.
In any case I'll check it again to be sure and I will apologize if I'm not correct.
I definitely agree on two other points.
Thanks

Well. cfg80211 will replace the common wext ioctls. All the private wext
ioctls will not be handled there.
The rationale is that
(1) it doesn't delete priv ioctls, they'll still work for the migration
period
(2) you can't rely on private ioctls having a certain meaning for each
driver, ie. other drivers are free the reassign numbers of
sub-ioctls
(3) any behaviour that is generally useful should be standardised.
