  11. /*
  12. * Basically, the wireless extensions are for now a set of standard ioctl
  13. * call + /proc/net/wireless
  14. *
  15. * The entry /proc/net/wireless give statistics and information on the
  16. * driver.
  17. * This is better than having each driver having its entry because
  18. * its centralised and we may remove the driver module safely.
  19. *
  20. * Ioctl are used to configure the driver and issue commands. This is
  21. * better than command line options of insmod because we may want to
  22. * change dynamically (while the driver is running) some parameters.
  23. *
  24. * The ioctl mechanimsm are copied from standard devices ioctl.
  25. * We have the list of command plus a structure descibing the
  26. * data exchanged...
  27. * Note that to add these ioctl, I was obliged to modify :
  28. * net/core/dev.c (two place + add include)
  29. * net/ipv4/af_inet.c (one place + add include)
  30. *
  31. * /proc/net/wireless is a copy of /proc/net/dev.
  32. * We have a structure for data passed from the driver to /proc/net/wireless
  33. * Too add this, I've modified :
  34. * net/core/dev.c (two other places)
  35. * include/linux/netdevice.h (one place)
  36. * include/linux/proc_fs.h (one place)
  37. *
  38. * Do not add here things that are redundant with other mechanisms
  39. * (drivers init, ifconfig, /proc/net/dev, ...) and with are not
  40. * wireless specific.
  41. *
  42. * These wireless extensions are not magic : each driver has to provide
  43. * support for them...
  44. *
  45. * IMPORTANT NOTE : As everything in the kernel, this is very much a
  46. * work in progress. Contact me if you have ideas of improvements...
