Hrm, that's a bit odd.

It doesn't really matter in this case, but in general please always
use diff -u, it's much more readable.

Several points not directly relevant to what's going wrong:
- Looks like you're using an older version of the driver.
You'd be better off working with the latest version which uses a new
interface for listing the ioctl commands. I can't remember how things
worked there, maybe you need to explicitly set the err variable, it
may be initialized to EOPNOTSUPP which would explain the error you're
seeing.
- a ses_get and ses_set pair would be more normal than
separate on and off commands.
- Be aware even numbered iwpriv commands are privleged (root
only) and odd numbered ones are not (I think that's a stupid
interface, but there you go).
