15 * Initial APIs (1996 -> onward) :
16 * -----------------------------
17 * Basically, the wireless extensions are for now a set of standard ioctl
18 * call + /proc/net/wireless
20 * The entry /proc/net/wireless give statistics and information on the
22 * This is better than having each driver having its entry because
23 * its centralised and we may remove the driver module safely.
25 * Ioctl are used to configure the driver and issue commands. This is
26 * better than command line options of insmod because we may want to
27 * change dynamically (while the driver is running) some parameters.
29 * The ioctl mechanimsm are copied from standard devices ioctl.
30 * We have the list of command plus a structure descibing the
32 * Note that to add these ioctl, I was obliged to modify :
33 * # net/core/dev.c (two place + add include)
34 * # net/ipv4/af_inet.c (one place + add include)
36 * /proc/net/wireless is a copy of /proc/net/dev.
37 * We have a structure for data passed from the driver to /proc/net/wireless
38 * Too add this, I've modified :
39 * # net/core/dev.c (two other places)
40 * # include/linux/netdevice.h (one place)
41 * # include/linux/proc_fs.h (one place)
43 * New driver API (2002 -> onward) :
44 * -------------------------------
45 * This file is only concerned with the user space API and common definitions.
46 * The new driver API is defined and documented in :
47 * # include/net/iw_handler.h
49 * Note as well that /proc/net/wireless implementation has now moved in :
50 * # include/linux/wireless.c
52 * Wireless Events (2002 -> onward) :
53 * --------------------------------
54 * Events are defined at the end of this file, and implemented in :
55 * # include/linux/wireless.c
59 * Do not add here things that are redundant with other mechanisms
60 * (drivers init, ifconfig, /proc/net/dev, ...) and with are not
63 * These wireless extensions are not magic : each driver has to provide
66 * IMPORTANT NOTE : As everything in the kernel, this is very much a
67 * work in progress. Contact me if you have ideas of improvements...

76 /***************************** VERSION *****************************/
78 * This constant is used to know the availability of the wireless
79 * extensions and to know which version of wireless extensions it is
80 * (there is some stuff that will be added in the future...)
81 * I just plan to increment with each new version.
83 #define WIRELESS_EXT 14
90 * Alan Cox start some incompatibles changes. I've integrated a bit more.
91 * - Encryption renamed to Encode to avoid US regulation problems
92 * - Frequency changed from float to struct to avoid problems on old 386
100 * - Missing encoding definitions in range
101 * - Access points stuff
105 * - 802.11 support (ESSID ioctls)
109 * - define IW_ESSID_MAX_SIZE and IW_MAX_AP
113 * - Changed my e-mail address
114 * - More 802.11 support (nickname, rate, rts, frag)
115 * - List index in frequencies
119 * - Support for 'mode of operation' (ad-hoc, managed...)
120 * - Support for unicast and multicast power saving
121 * - Change encoding to support larger tokens (>64 bits)
122 * - Updated iw_params (disable, flags) and use it for NWID
123 * - Extracted iw_point from iwreq for clarity
127 * - Add PM capability to range structure
128 * - Add PM modifier : MAX/MIN/RELATIVE
129 * - Add encoding option : IW_ENCODE_NOKEY
130 * - Add TxPower ioctls (work like TxRate)
134 * - Add WE version in range (help backward/forward compatibility)
135 * - Add retry ioctls (work like PM)
139 * - Add SIOCSIWSTATS to get /proc/net/wireless programatically
140 * - Add DEV PRIVATE IOCTL to avoid collisions in SIOCDEVPRIVATE space
141 * - Add new statistics (frag, retry, beacon)
142 * - Add average quality (for user space calibration)
146 * - Document creation of new driver API.
147 * - Extract union iwreq_data from struct iwreq (for new driver API).
148 * - Rename SIOCSIWNAME as SIOCSIWCOMMIT
152 * - Wireless Events support : define struct iw_event
153 * - Define additional specific event numbers
154 * - Add "addr" and "param" fields in union iwreq_data
155 * - AP scanning stuff (SIOCSIWSCAN and friends)
