IEEE80211_IOCTL(9) FreeBSD 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.
