That's easy enough to add.  I assume it's just a boolean or integer
parameter?  The interface supports 2^16-1 options so it's not going to
be a real problem to add more.  You just add a new #define at the end if
sys/net/if_ieee80211.h and and entry in share/man/man4/ieee80211.4
describing what the heck it does.  The interface also needs more status
gathering functions to get signal strenght and the like for GUI tools.
