They are emulating the part of the hardware interface of the wi cards that wicontrol uses so they could shared it. I've got an untested[0] patch that replaces the more common parts of the interface as part of adding ifconfig support for 802.11 devices. I suspect that most of the rest of the stuff could be made more or less generic for use in if_ieee80211.h. With a quick glance, the rest seems to be mostly signal quality stuff and useless flexability. The patch is at: http://www.one-eyed-alien.net/~brooks/FreeBSD/ifconfig.diff It currently works with wi cards and doesn't quite work with an cards. -- Brooks [0] I can't seem to find a source for the cards at a reasionable (<$50) price and the BayStack 660 I borrowed for a weekend didn't work for me. -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
