The extra changes suggested don't seem to have anything to do with changes in Linux 3.x, but they do seem to be reasonable: - The proper capability check for WEXT ioctls is already done by wext_ioctl_dispatch() before wl_ioctl() is called - Errors that can be triggered by unprivileged users should not be logged without rate-limiting, as this can be a denial-of-service vector (disk fills up) Please get this sorted out; it's ridiculous that you have left it unfixed for 6 months.
