hostap with snmpd and mrtg

[wasik]

Hello,
I'm using MRTG (traffic grapher) with snmpd on machine with hostap. Every time  MRTG reads traffic counter (ie. every five minutes) I get lot of these lines in syslog:
Jul  1 17:23:35 h kernel: wlan0 unsupported ioctl(0x8947)
Jul  1 17:23:35 h kernel: wlan0 unsupported ioctl(0x89f0)

It is caused by snmpd which does SIOCGMIIPHY and SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctls
each time network information is requested - ifInOctets in this case.

I made a simple patch for hostap to silently ignore those ioctls.
