The ioctls that are used in the signal monitoring appear
be "nice to have's" for each driver.

It's only in 2.6.12 that my card's had support for 3 out of 4
of the ioctls. Before that they all failed as unsupported.

I think we will have to examine the way we do thing, use
the signal monitor if the drivers support enough functionality,
otherwise we will have to fall back to more simplistic
behaviour.
