What changes would be needed for > it? If you take a look at the current patch there is some totally untested and partialy incomplete code to implement the ioctl part of the interface. Basicaly what you do is implement the interface documented in ieee80211.4 (included in the patch). You then implement an if_media interface for speed selection and ad-hoc vs infrastructure. The one gotcha with implementing the awi stuff is that my API doesn't currently understand hopsets on FH cards. You could probably overload channel, but I'm not sure that going to be the right thing to do. If I actually knew what you'd like to set in general with regard to hopsets I could add appropriate support to ifconfig and the API easily. > Also, I have cnwctl in the wings right now that I'd like to not commit=20 > if ifconfig could be made to work :-). cnwctl? I don't see a cnw driver... If this is for an as yet uncomitted 802.11 driver it should be pretty straight forward. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
