I don’t understand why it was done this way instead of just creating additional variables for `hostapd_<foo>`, similar to `ifconfig_<foo>` (other than maybe, it simplified things because `_ifconfig_getargs` could be used to grab the variables from `ifconfig_<foo>` — but it seems like a kludge to me). I’d need to boot up FreeBSD on one of my PC laptops to confirm what the behavior is (the earliest I will likely be able to do this is later on today). $ grep -r hostap sbin/ifconfig/ sbin/ifconfig/ifconfig.8:.Cm hostap ), sbin/ifconfig/ifconfig.8:.Cm hostap sbin/ifconfig/ifconfig.8:.Xr hostapd 8 $ Thanks, -NGie
