Scratches head -- this is from memory when I was thinking about this
problem a long time ago... I think we can return an error in the qdisc
destructor function - making sure legitimate interface removal is not
the cause of the qdisc deletion first of course.

Hm, we probably need a way to tell the kernel not to remove 802.11
qdisc. Jouni, Simon, is that possible or do we need to patch NET_SCHED
code?

Thanks,
