DESCRIPTION
These functions are typically invoked by drivers in response to requests for information or to change settings from the userland.The
ieee80211_cfgget()
and
ieee80211_cfgset()
functions implement a legacy interface for getting and setting 802.11
interface attributes respectively. The interface is compatible with the RIDs
implemented by the wi(4) driver and used by the
wiconfig(8) utility.
The
ieee80211_ioctl()
function implements ioctls such as key management for wireless devices.
Ioctls related to the Ethernet layer also pass through here, but are handed
off to
ether_ioctl()
when no match for cmd is found.
SEE ALSO
HISTORY
The ieee80211 series of functions first
appeared in NetBSD 1.5, and were later ported to
FreeBSD 4.6.
