Masakazu-san,
Thank you very much for your thorough explanation of the situation.
I apologize for having been a bit slow to grasp what you were doing.
I agree that the HANDLE_IOCTL version seems correct. As you correctly
understood, my concern was that we not break anything new in the
process of fixing this bug.
Have you tested the both the old and the new wireless-tools on
a kernel with your patch applied? Both 32- and 64-bit versions?
Do they all work equally well?
Thanks,
John
