Agreed, that's why it is against my mind to use it. I expect that the 
whole "--resend-on-iif" idea is not
about bounding this functionality to wireless only interfaces, but to 
allow let user decide which interface
needs retransmit packets back (interfaces for physical devices where 
individual stations are not allowed
to transmit packets directly on physical layer are good example).

Hoping the patch will be easy and Bart or others will find a time to 
make it soon.
