We've refused this on a lot of drivers.  If you really need this kind
of debugging talk to acme to use a variant of ostra for this.

If you read netdev we're very very unhappy about device specific knobs,
as they are really painful to support.  You should also look at the
cfg80211 threads on why ioctls are really bad for moving to a knew
non-wext, non-ioctl config mechanism.  And for why iwpriv is particularly
bad look about the posts about the wext compat issues.
