hiya, I have been studying OpenBSD's implementation of ifconfig utility and realized that many of the WPA functionality is provided by the OpenBSD's ifconfig utility. Functionality is implemented as ioctl calls (SIOCS80211WPAPARMS / SIOGS80211WPAPARMS) and, as far as I have been told, is enough to provide basic wifi connectivity and likes. Has something similar (embedding WPA functionality into ifconfig(8)) been considered for FreeBSD before? This, of course, is a design matter than being a coding issue. Thanks
