        Not everybody is using a wireless card, and of those using
wireless cards, not all of them are using WPA. Therefore, my goal is
to minimise kernel bloat.
        If you don't like the current situation, there are two avenues :
                o use different ioctls
                o use a separate common module to demultiplex the ioctl

        Check the archive of netdev mailing list a few months back.
