48 functions are typically invoked by drivers in response to requests
49 for information or to change settings from the userland.
56 functions implement a legacy interface for getting and setting 802.11
57 interface attributes respectively.
58 The interface is compatible with the RIDs implemented by the
60 driver and used by the
67 function implements ioctls such as key management for wireless devices.
68 Ioctls related to the Ethernet layer also pass through here, but are
