46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47These
48functions are typically invoked by drivers in response to requests
49for information or to change settings from the userland.
50.Pp
51.\"
52The
53.Fn ieee80211_cfgget
54and
55.Fn ieee80211_cfgset
56functions implement a legacy interface for getting and setting 802.11
57interface attributes respectively.
58The interface is compatible with the RIDs implemented by the
59.Xr wi 4
60driver and used by the
61.Xr wiconfig 8
62utility.
63.Pp
64.\"
65The
66.Fn ieee80211_ioctl
67function implements ioctls such as key management for wireless devices.
68Ioctls related to the Ethernet layer also pass through here, but are
69handed off to
70.Fn ether_ioctl
71when no match for
72.Fa cmd
73is found.
