In the future we need to drop all the driver private interfaces and use
nl80211/wext instead[1]. As this patch shows, they just create problems
for us. I recommend deprecating the file in question as soon as possible
and instead start using proper interfaces.
[1] Even though nl80211 is lacking power save support, but that will be
fixed soon. Use wext for now.
