49 functions are typically invoked by drivers in response to requests
50 for information or to change settings from the userland.
57 functions implement a legacy interface for getting and setting 802.11
58 interface attributes respectively.
59 The interface is compatible with the RIDs implemented by the legacy
61 driver and used by the
68 function provides a default implementation of the
72 ifioctls commands for 802.11 drivers.
73 The call signature is identical to that of the
77 however, many drivers store attributes such as
78 .Dv IEEE80211_IOC_STATIONNAME
79 in the driver's private soft state structure, so driver writers may prefer
80 to use this as the catch-all in a switch statement to avoid code duplication.
