My only complaint is that using ancontrol is unnecessicary in this case. ifconfig has all the support needed for these operations and as such would be a better choice for the documentation because it's not an(4) specific. The only change in logic that would be required would be adding code to test for the SSID variables being set before using them since wi(4) cards only support one SSID. Otherwise, it's just mechanical transforms of ancontrol commands to ifconfig commands. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
