At the end of the section describing 'list sta', the following text can be found: "By default information elements received from associated stations are displayed in a short form; the -v flag causes this informa- tion to be displayed symbolicaly." The last word 'symbolicaly', should be replaced with 'symbolically' The last section describing 'list scan', contains the following text: "By default interesting information elements captured from the neighboring stations are displayed at the end of each row. Pos- sible elements include: WME (station supports WME), WPA (station supports WPA), RSN (station supports 802.11i/RSN), HTCAP (station supports 802.11n/HT communication), ATH (station supoprts Atheros protocol extensions), VEN (station supports unknown vendor-spe- cific extensions)..." The word 'supoprts' should be replaced by 'supports'. >How-To-Repeat: man ifconfig Search for the words 'symbolicaly' and 'supoprts'. >Fix: Replace this sentence: By default information elements received from associated stations are displayed in a short form; the -v flag causes this informa- tion to be displayed symbolicaly. With this one: By default information elements received from associated stations are displayed in a short form; the -v flag causes this informa- tion to be displayed symbolically. Replace this sentence: Possible elements include: WME (station supports WME), WPA (station supports WPA), RSN (station supports 802.11i/RSN), HTCAP (station supports 802.11n/HT communication), ATH (station supoprts Atheros protocol extensions), VEN (station supports unknown vendor-spe- cific extensions). With this one: Possible elements include: WME (station supports WME), WPA (station supports WPA), RSN (station supports 802.11i/RSN), HTCAP (station supports 802.11n/HT communication), ATH (station supports Atheros protocol extensions), VEN (station supports unknown vendor-spe- cific extensions). >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
