Uhhh...I don't think this is quite true. I'm not an expert on the an(4) driver, but ancontrol -S and ancontrol -C give a lot more information that the new ifconfig, and I'm pretty sure that ancontrol (8) lets you twiddle things that ifconfig doesn't. (Antenna diversity and transmit power spring to mind, also it is not immediately obvious to me how to set ad-hoc mode using ifconfig(8)). I think that a *majority* of functionality can be done with ifconfig, and that someone would only need to use ancontrol if they really wanted to do something esoteric (or at least unusual). More comments to come...I'm typing up some feedback based on playing with the -stable version.
