In FreeBsd I didn't find anything similiar to it. Sysctl functions aren't "part of the ifnet struct". You can define sysctls for your driver, if you wish, but that's the wrong way to go about doing it. > I need to send custom directions to the interface so I can't use the = > ioctl mechanism. I can't see why you think this is the case. See the wl(4) driver for example of exactly what you're talking about, using ioctl(). See wlconfig(8) for the user-space portion of the interface. -- \\ The mind's the standard \\ Mike Smith \\ of the man. \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ -- Joseph Merrick \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
