IEEE80211_IOCTL(9)     NetBSD Kernel Developer's Manual     IEEE80211_IOCTL(9)

NAME
     ieee80211_cfgget, ieee80211_cfgset, ieee80211_ioctl -- 802.11 interface
     ioctl commands

SYNOPSIS
     #include <net80211/ieee80211_var.h>
     #include <net80211/ieee80211_proto.h>
     #include <net80211/ieee80211_ioctl.h>

     int
     ieee80211_cfgget(struct ieee80211com *ic, u_long cmd, void *data);

     int
     ieee80211_cfgset(struct ieee80211com *ic, u_long cmd, void *data);

     int
     ieee80211_ioctl(struct ieee80211com *ic, u_long cmd, void *data);

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.

HISTORY
     The ieee80211 series of functions first appeared in NetBSD 1.5, and were
     later ported to FreeBSD 4.6.
