.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These
|
|
functions are typically invoked by drivers in response to requests
|
|
for information or to change settings from the userland.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.\"
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ieee80211_cfgget
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn 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
|
|
.Xr wi 4
|
|
driver and used by the
|
|
.Xr wiconfig 8
|
|
utility.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.\"
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn 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
|
|
.Fn ether_ioctl
|
|
when no match for
|
|
.Fa cmd
|
|
is found.

The

series of functions first appeared in

|
|
and were later ported to
|
