But is that (at least in part) because snmpd is playing nasty? Checking the relevant code, it seems to be lifted verbatim from the "mii-diag" tool, which dates from around 2003. Even then, the original code talks about "new or old SIOCGMIIPHY" values. (with SIOCDEVPRIVATE being the "old" value). Five years on, I'm tempted to suggest that there is no point in supporting this (presumably) transitional/experimental old ioctl. It would be safer (as well as simpler) to drop mention of SIOCDEVPRIVATE altogether, and just use the SIOCGMII* ioctly (and refer to them by name, rather than number!) I'll float this idea on the -coders list, and see what the other developers think.
