mycroft 1e7044a4ca The change in revision 1.38 (in 1997!) was wrong. If we don't want the kernel
to automatically bring up interfaces, then we should move that code into
ifconfig(8) and out of the kernel, not cycle the interface up and down.  Fixes
PR 9400 -- ifconfig(8) was not working as documented.

perry 3900dd63b3 Change "nwid" to "ssid", list "nwid" as a synonym for "ssid", and
clean up the ssid explanation a bit (including mentioning that if you
want to use a hex ssid, you precede it with a 0x, which really needed
documenting.)
2004-03-01 00:16:24 +00:00
perry be009ae585 Very minimal changes to make "ssid" and "nwid" aliases, and make the
ssid print out as "ssid", not "nwid".
XXX Really, someone should go through and change around all the
variable names etc. to ssid, but not today.

dyoung abda32ca8b Add 'mode' option to change PHY media for 802.11 devices. Also,
display PHY mode. E.g., run an 802.11a (5GHz, 54Mbps max) access
point:

> ifconfig -m ath0
ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

perry 765e98ca6e Document the -v and -z flags. 2003-04-12 01:08:28 +00:00
perry d229e19ca4 Add an option (-z) like -v except that it clears the input/output
stats after printing them.
(Basically this just calls SIOCZIFDATA instead of SIOCGIFDATA).
Submitted by Jean-Edouard BABIN in PR bin/21078
However, he suggested using -c, and cgd (reasonably) noted that -z for
"zero" was probably more reasonable.
I've also changed the code very slightly.

thorpej 3f89292591 New commands:
* bssid xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -- set the desired BSSID of an 802.11
  interface.
* -bssid -- unset the desired BSSID of an 802.11 interface, so
  the interface will choose automatically (default).
* channel x -- set the channel (radio frequency) of an 802.11 interface.

Current BSSID and channel are now reported in the 802.11 status
display, if supported by the interface.

Above changes from David Young <dyoung@ojctech.com>, with some slight
changes by me (use ethers(3) functions rather than hand-parsing/printing
the 802.11 address).

Document bssid/-bssid/channel, and clean up markup of parentheticals
in the manual page.

david 92d578c744 Cause multiple uses of alias, -alias, and delete to produce an error,
and exit.

Previously, combinations would produce unintended results, such as
deleting the primary IP on an interface, instead of deleting an specified
alias.
