The one in the wireless-dev is pretty much like this one. It existed only because there was not such a multiqueue aware qdisc available at that time. The requirement for wireless is the same as the strict PRIO with an addition that the dequeued SKB's corresponding NIC hardware queue must be active (this is also true for other devices I think, otherwise it has to be requeued which leads a busy or dead loop in the end). In other words, the dequeue method should select the SKB with the highest priority from all the ACTIVE hardware queues (not all queues). The wireless hardware then schedules all the packets from its 4 hardware TX queues based on the priority and network environment.
