IEEE80211_IOCTL(9) FreeBSD Kernel Developer's Manual IEEE80211_IOCTL(9)
NAME
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_ioctl(struct ifnet *ifp, u_long cmd, caddr_t data);
DESCRIPTION
These functions are typically invoked by drivers in response to requests
for information or to change settings from the userland.
The ieee80211_ioctl() function provides a default implementation of the
SIOCS80211 and SIOCG80211 ifioctls commands for 802.11 drivers. The call
signature is identical to that of the if_ioctl member found in struct
ifnet, however, many drivers store attributes such as
IEEE80211_IOC_STATIONNAME in the driver's private soft state structure,
so driver writers may prefer to use this as the catch-all in a switch
statement to avoid code duplication.

ifconfig(8), ieee80211(9)
HISTORY
The ieee80211 series of functions first appeared in NetBSD 1.5, and were
later ported to FreeBSD 4.6 and OpenBSD 3.6.
