IIRC, I suggested that the cfg80211 driver API (or just the wiphy
data structure) could be extended for appropriate bits like this,
then cfg80211 could catch ethtool operations in a way similar to how
it catches wireless extensions now.

I was thinking to look at this after I get home, maybe next week.
Others are welcome to beat me to it, of course. :-)
