Hi Johannes -

I guess I'll stick with sysfs for now since the code is written already: 
if I will find add_iface and so on down there then I guess it will all 
work out with minor edits.

Can I ask how stable this byzantine path I am currently following to get 
a "Management interface" for tx injection is going to be?  Not even 
standard wireless ioctl but Private IOCTL SIOCIWFIRSTPRIV+0 opens out 
into a secret garden of "PRISM2" special features... is this already in 
a little black refactoring book somewhere?   Just glumly curious what 
the lifetime of any usermode code based around any of this stuff is...
