No, ifconfig doesn=B4t support. You have to do all manually: roztyly# sysctl dev.ath.0.slottime=3D9 roztyly# sysctl dev.ath.0.ctstimeout=3D180 roztyly# sysctl dev.ath.0.acktimeout=3D180 Unlike Linux: lsd:/# uname -a Linux lsd 2.6.11x2 #1 Tue Jul 12 00:37:52 CEST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux lsd:/# athctrl -i aht0 -d 1000 Setting distance on interface aht0 to 1000 meters lsd:/# athctrl -i aht1 -d 2500 Setting distance on interface aht1 to 2500 meters lsd:/# cat /proc/sys/dev/ath0/acktimeout 29 lsd:/# cat /proc/sys/dev/ath0/ctstimeout 29 lsd:/# cat /proc/sys/dev/ath0/slottime 13 lsd:/# cat /proc/sys/dev/ath1/slottime 18 lsd:/# cat /proc/sys/dev/ath1/acktimeout 39 lsd:/# cat /proc/sys/dev/ath1/ctstimeout 39 Dan -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-current@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-current@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Fredrik Lindberg Sent: Sunday, August 21, 2005 2:13 PM To: dandee@volny.cz Cc: freebsd-current@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ATHCTRL for ATH Daniel Dvo=F8=E1k wrote: > I am sorry but I don=B4t understand about modular ifconfig and about = "to phase > out those sorts of programs out".

The goal is to phase out all these small programs and allow ifconfig to do their job instead. A modular ifconfig allows this without turning the ifconfig code into a bloated, un-maintainable pile of junk. In essence, if those "ack+cts" settings you ask for were to be comitted into the source tree, I guess they would be added to ifconfig(8) and not as a separate tool. (Maybe ifconfig already supports this...)
