Hi. Propably it's not implemented at all in the underlying madwifi.sh
script that handles the wireless uci to bring up interfaces. Have you
grepped for this iwpriv setting in /lib/wifi/madwifi.sh ?

I it's not there and you'd like to implement it, then there are a couple
of places to change:

 1) the underlying madwifi.sh must handle a corresponding uci option
 2) the introduced uci option needs to be added to
    /lib/uci/schema/default/wireless
 3) the luci form needs an entry for it as well, look into
    /usr/lib/lua/luci/model/cbi/admin_network/wifi.lua for examples
 4) define language strings for it, this is only possible with the sdk
    in newer luci version since the target i18n files are binary now;
    it needs to be added to the po templates and at least the english
    variant of admin-core.po

Please take a look at wifi.lua, mentioned above and feel free to ask any
follow up questions here.
