This section describes the standard programming
interface to configure and retrieve status information
for IEEE 802.11 devices that depend on the
Requests that are not supported by the underlying device return
-1 and set the global variable errno to
EOPNOTSUPP.
SIOCG80211
requests that return data to an application place small values in
i_val
or in a user-specified buffer pointed to by
i_data.
When an indirect buffer is used
i_len
specifies how large the indirect buffer is and on return it is set by the
system to the actual amount of data returned.
SIOCS80211
requests use a similar scheme with data passed to the system taken either
from
i_val
or an indirect buffer pointed to by
i_data.
| IEEE80211_IOC_AMPDU
|
| |
Return whether or not AMPDU is enabled in
i_val.
AMPDU is an aggregation scheme that is part of the 802.11n specification
and is used only when operating on an HT channel.
The value returned is one of:
0 (AMPDU disabled),
1 (AMPDU enabled for transmit),
2 (AMPDU enabled for receive),
and
3 (AMPDU enabled for transmit and receive).
The 802.11n specification says a compliant station must receive AMPDU but
may not support transmitting AMPDU frames.
Disabling AMPDU receive is mainly useful for testing and working around bugs.
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_AMPDU_DENSITY
|
| |
Return the minimum density for bursting AMPDU frames in
i_val.
The value returned is one of:
0 (no time restriction),
1 (1/4 usec),
2 (1/2 usec),
3 (1 usec),
4 (2 usec),
5 (4 usec),
6 (8 usec),
and
7 (16 usec).
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_AMPDU_LIMIT
|
| |
Return the limit on the size of AMPDU frames in
i_val.
The value returned is one of:
0 (8 kilobytes),
1 (16 kilobytes),
2 (32 kilobytes),
and
3 (64 kilobytes).
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_AMSDU
|
| |
Return whether or not AMSDU is enabled in
i_val.
AMSDU is an aggregation scheme that is part of the 802.11n specification
and is used only when operating on an HT channel.
The value returned is one of:
0 (AMSDU disabled),
1 (AMSDU enabled for transmit),
2 (AMSDU enabled for receive),
and
3 (AMSDU enabled for transmit and receive).
The 802.11n specification says a compliant station must receive AMSDU but
may not support transmitting AMSDU frames.
Disabling AMSDU receive is mainly useful for testing and working around bugs.
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_AMSDU_LIMIT
|
| |
Return the limit on the size of AMSDU frames in
i_val.
The value returned is one of:
3839 (bytes)
and

Note these values are specified by 802.11n; arbitrary values are not allowed.
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_APBRIDGE
|
| |
Return whether AP bridging is enabled in
i_val.
Normally packets sent between stations associated
to the same access point are delivered without going through system layers
that do packet filtering; when AP bridging is disabled packets are
passed up the system to be forwarded using some other mechanism.
This value will be non-zero when AP bridging is enabled and otherwise zero.
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_APPIE
|
| |
Return an application information element via
i_data.
Application IE's are maintained for many 802.11 frames; the
request must identify the frame to return an IE for in
i_val.
For example, to retrieve the IE sent in each Beacon frame
i_val
would be set to
IEEE80211_FC0_SUBTYPE_BEACON | IEEE80211_FC0_TYPE_MGT.
If no information element is installed then
EINVAL
is returned.
If the data buffer for returning data is too small to hold the information
element the value is truncated; this permits querying the presence of
data by requesting zero bytes of data be returned.
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_AUTHMODE
|
| |
Return the current authentication mode in
i_val.
Valid values are
IEEE80211_AUTH_NONE
(no authentication),

(open authentication),
IEEE80211_AUTH_SHARED
(shared key authentication),
IEEE80211_AUTH_8021X
(802.1x only authentication),

the station will periodically leave
the current channel and scan for neighboring stations.

and
IEEE80211_IOC_BGSCAN_INTERVAL.
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_BGSCAN_IDLE

(i.e. not transmitting or receiving frames)
before it will do a background scan.
See also
IEEE80211_IOC_BGSCAN_INTERVAL.
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_BGSCAN_INTERVAL

attempt to roam to a different/better access point.
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_BSSID
|
| |

i_data.
When the interface is running, the bssid is either the value
configured locally (e.g. for an IBSS network started by the local station)
or the value adopted when joining an existing network.
For WDS interfaces this value is the address of the remote station.
When the interface is not running, the bssid returned is the desired
bssid, if any, that has been configured.
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_BURST

spaced to improve throughput.
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_CHANINFO
|
| |
Return the set of available channels via
i_data.
Note this data should be used by user applications to map between
channel specifications (frequency and attributes) and IEEE channel numbers
as user applications may not have the necessary information to do
this directly (e.g. for 900MHz radios, operation in the Public Safety Band).
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_CHANLIST
|
| |
Return the current list of usable channels via
i_data.
The channel list is returned as a bit vector with bit N set to 1 if
IEEE channel number N is available for use.
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_CHANNEL
|
| |
Return the IEEE channel number of the current channel in

i_val.
This value will be non-zero when Countermeasures are enabled and
otherwise zero.
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_CURCHAN
|
| |
Return information for the current channel via
i_data.
This information includes the IEEE channel number, the frequency, and
attributes that describe the operating constraints (e.g. Passive Scan,
DFS, usage restrictions).
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_DEVCAPS
|
| |
Return device capabilities in the data buffer pointed at by
i_data.
The buffer must be large enough to return the number of available
channels but otherwise may be made small to limit how much information
is returned.
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_DFS
|
| |
Return whether or not Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is enabled in
i_val.
DFS embodies several facilities including detection of overlapping
radar signals, dynamic transmit power control, and channel selection
according to a least-congested criteria.
DFS support is mandatory for some 5GHz frequencies in certain
locales (e.g. ETSI).
By default DFS is enabled according to the regulatory definitions
and the current country code, regdomain, and channel.
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_DOTD
|
| |
Return whether or not 802.11d support is enabled in
i_val.
When 802.11d is enabled in station mode, Beacon frames that advertise
a country code different than the currently configured country code will
cause an event to be dispatched to user applications.
This event can be used by the station to adopt that country code and
operate according to the associated regulatory constraints.
When operating as an access point with 802.11d enabled the Beacon and
ProbeResponse frames transmitted will advertise the current regulatory
domain settings.
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_DOTH
|
| |
Return whether 802.11h support is enabled in
i_val.
When 802.11h is enabled Beacon and ProbeResponse frames will have
the SpectrumMgt bit set in the capabilities field and
country and power constraint information elements will be present.

which are a mechanism to coordinate channel changes by an access point.
By default 802.11h is enabled if the device is capable.
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_DROPUNENCRYPTED
|
| |
Return, in
i_val,
whether unencrypted packets transmit/received should be discarded.
This value will be zero if unencrypted packets will be accepted and
non-zero if they are to be discarded.

i_val.
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_DWDS

|
| |
Return, in
i_val,
whether Atheros fast-frames support is enabled.
Fast-frames is a non-standard protocol extension that aggregates multiple
frames to improve throughput.
Note that enabling fast-frames support does not guarantee use;
the client and access point must negotiate its use.
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_FRAGTHRESHOLD
|
| |
Return, in
i_val,
the threshold (in bytes) for enabling fragmentation frames.
Packets larger than this value will automatically be split into multiple
fragmented frames that are sent one after the other.

|
| |
Return, in
i_val,
whether SSID hiding/cloaking is enabled.
SSID hiding is only meaningful when operating as an access point.

This value will be non-zero when SSID hiding is enabled and otherwise zero.
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_HTCOMPAT
|
| |
Return, in
i_val,
whether or not 802.11n compatibility support is enabled.
The 802.11n protocol specification went through several incompatible iterations.
Some vendors implemented 11n support to older specifications that
will not interoperate with a purely 11n-compliant station.
In particular the information elements included in management frames
for old devices are different.
When compatibility support is enabled both standard and compatible data
will be provided and/or accepted.
|
| IEEE80211_IOC_HTCONF

|
| IEEE80211_IOC_INACTIVITY
|
| |
Return whether or not the system handles inactivity processing in
