Not a review, just a question: Do we want to decide that we will not
implement those ioctl's in the linuxulator?

If the answer is yes, I'm OK with a patch like yours going in. If the
answer is no, I object to such a patch, as it would hide the missing
functionality.

If you want to shut up an application regarding this, I suggest to
write a wrapper-ioctl which is then used with LD_PRELOAD, if you provide
the source and makefile, I'm willing to compile it in my F10 VM for
you.

Out of curiosity: what is skype doing with direct wlan calls?

Bye,
Alexander.
