Protocol is about what sshd speaks on the network.

But granted - there is no point in dealing with SSH v1 keys when
using protocol version v2. Please send patches. :)

Because .ssh/id_rsa is the default SSH v2 RSA key filename.

.ssh/identity is the default SSH v1 key filename.

The key thing is not a problem - that's just how sshd looks for keys.

I'm afraid I can't provide any good suggestions about the real
problem. :\
