DCMD_IO_NET_WIFI

Hi everyone

I’m looking for information on how to respond to the DCMD_IO_NET_WIFI
devctl and a few questions about somewhat the same subject…

  1. What subtypes are input/output?
    A few is rather obvious, but SSID forexample could be either input or
    output.

  2. What am I to return on the NIC_WIFI_SUBCMD_BSS_TYPE, If you have
    several accesspoints/ADHOC in your reach… is it the one you are
    currently connected to?

  3. Are there any standard devctls that a user application can issue to
    list all the availible accesspoints/adhoc networks?


    Thanks in advance

Yes, you can either read the SSID or set it with the devctl. Are you writing
your own driver or are you wanting to know how to interface to an existing
driver?

    I’m writing my own driver.

For which chipset?

Porting rather. for Atmel wlan chipsets. (AT76C50X…)

more specifically the card i’m testing on is a CNet CNWLC-811

Ping?
I know it’s xmas time now, but maybe someone is still sneaking around in the
office? :slight_smile:

How do I know from my driver if the user is trying to set some data, or get
some data from the driver?

Thanks!

The subcmd of the nic_wifi_dcmd_t structure will either contain DEVDIR_TO or
DEVDIR_FROM, where TO is to the driver and FROM is from the driver.
