I think I am on the side of removing the non-standard extensions.
FWIW, I'll need a patch posted with a proper Subject and
Signed-off-by...

I think Nick has some valid points.  His position sounds similar to
that expressed to me by Felix and some others that it would be nice
if we could more easily accomodate some of the features of madwifi
that have made it attractive to researchers and experimenters.
Perhaps NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE relates to this desire?

Just a thought...
