Multiple other groups of ioctls could be converted in similar patches,

So far the theory - in practice nobody cared enough to start working on
any of these drivers, let alone actually has the hardware today.
So my suggestion to make ipw2200 no longer use cfg80211_wext_giwname()
would actually be backwards. What's actually needed, in theory, is to
use more of what's provided under CFG80211_WEXT (and, I guess, less of
what's provided under WIRELESS_EXT). Did I get that right?
Yes, but as Johannes indicated it needs consideration what to group in
the patches.
