Does anyone know if there is any documentation on this or a URL that I
could reference before I attempt?
I guess the "private WiFi ioctl's" you are referring to are the ones
used in Android wpa_supplicant driver_cmd lib? There is no real cookbook
on how to add nl80211 commands (maybe I am wrong here), but there are
sufficient patches to be found in the linux-wireless archive. A recent
one about key management offload adds a couple of commands and
attributes which may give an idea what is needed:

Obviously, you need to modify the "couple of drivers" to deal with the
nl80211 netlink commands.
