36.Nd standard interface to IEEE 802.11 devices
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.In sys/types.h
39.In sys/socket.h
40.In net/if.h
41.In net/ethernet.h
42.In net80211/ieee80211_ioctl.h
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44This section describes the standard programming
45interface to configure and retrieve status information
46for IEEE 802.11 devices that depend on the
47.Xr wlan 4
48module for operation.
49The interface is via one
50of the following
51.Xr ioctl 2
52calls on a socket:
53.Bl -tag -width ".Dv SIOCG80211"
54.It Dv SIOCG80211
55Get configuration or status information.
56.It Dv SIOCS80211
57Set configuration information.
58.El
59.Pp
60These requests are made via a modified
61.Vt ifreq
62structure.
63This structure is defined as follows:
64.Bd -literal
65struct ieee80211req {
66	char		i_name[IFNAMSIZ];	/* if_name, e.g. "wi0" */
67	uint16_t	i_type;			/* req type */
68	int16_t		i_val;			/* Index or simple value */
69	int16_t		i_len;			/* Index or simple value */
70	void		*i_data;		/* Extra data */
71};
72.Ed
73.Pp
74Requests that are not supported by the underlying device return
75-1 and set the global variable errno to
76.Er EOPNOTSUPP .
77.Dv SIOCG80211
78requests that return data to an application place small values in
79.Va i_val
80or in a user-specified buffer pointed to by
81.Va i_data .
82When an indirect buffer is used
83.Va i_len
84specifies how large the indirect buffer is and on return it is set by the
85system to the actual amount of data returned.
86.Dv SIOCS80211
87requests use a similar scheme with data passed to the system taken either
88from
89.Va i_val
90or an indirect buffer pointed to by
91.Va i_data .
92.Pp
93For
94.Dv SIOCG80211
95the following values of
96.Va i_type
97are valid:
98.Bl -tag -width indent
99.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_AMPDU
100Return whether or not AMPDU is enabled in
101.Va i_val .
102AMPDU is an aggregation scheme that is part of the 802.11n specification
103and is used only when operating on an HT channel.
104The value returned is one of:
1050 (AMPDU disabled),
1061 (AMPDU enabled for transmit),
1072 (AMPDU enabled for receive),
108and
1093 (AMPDU enabled for transmit and receive).
110The 802.11n specification says a compliant station must receive AMPDU but
111may not support transmitting AMPDU frames.
112Disabling AMPDU receive is mainly useful for testing and working around bugs.
113.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_AMPDU_DENSITY
114Return the minimum density for bursting AMPDU frames in
115.Va i_val .
116The value returned is one of:
1170 (no time restriction),
1181 (1/4 usec),
1192 (1/2 usec),
1203 (1 usec),
1214 (2 usec),
1225 (4 usec),
1236 (8 usec),
124and
1257 (16 usec).
126.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_AMPDU_LIMIT
127Return the limit on the size of AMPDU frames in
128.Va i_val .
129The value returned is one of:
1300 (8 kilobytes),
1311 (16 kilobytes),
1322 (32 kilobytes),
133and
1343 (64 kilobytes).
135.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_AMSDU
136Return whether or not AMSDU is enabled in
137.Va i_val .
138AMSDU is an aggregation scheme that is part of the 802.11n specification
139and is used only when operating on an HT channel.
140The value returned is one of:
1410 (AMSDU disabled),
1421 (AMSDU enabled for transmit),
1432 (AMSDU enabled for receive),
144and
1453 (AMSDU enabled for transmit and receive).
146The 802.11n specification says a compliant station must receive AMSDU but
147may not support transmitting AMSDU frames.
148Disabling AMSDU receive is mainly useful for testing and working around bugs.
149.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_AMSDU_LIMIT
150Return the limit on the size of AMSDU frames in
151.Va i_val .
152The value returned is one of:
1533839 (bytes)
154and
1557935 (bytes).
156Note these values are specified by 802.11n; arbitrary values are not allowed.
157.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_APBRIDGE
158Return whether AP bridging is enabled in
159.Va i_val .
160Normally packets sent between stations associated
161to the same access point are delivered without going through system layers
162that do packet filtering; when AP bridging is disabled packets are
163passed up the system to be forwarded using some other mechanism.
164This value will be non-zero when AP bridging is enabled and otherwise zero.
165.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_APPIE
166Return an application information element via
167.Va i_data .
168Application IE's are maintained for many 802.11 frames; the
169request must identify the frame to return an IE for in
170.Va i_val .
171For example, to retrieve the IE sent in each Beacon frame
172.Va i_val
173would be set to
174.Va IEEE80211_FC0_SUBTYPE_BEACON | IEEE80211_FC0_TYPE_MGT .
175If no information element is installed then
176.Er EINVAL
177is returned.
178If the data buffer for returning data is too small to hold the information
179element the value is truncated; this permits querying the presence of
180data by requesting zero bytes of data be returned.
181.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_AUTHMODE
182Return the current authentication mode in
183.Va i_val .
184Valid values are
185.Dv IEEE80211_AUTH_NONE
186(no authentication),
187.Dv IEEE80211_AUTH_OPEN
188(open authentication),
189.Dv IEEE80211_AUTH_SHARED
190(shared key authentication),
191.Dv IEEE80211_AUTH_8021X
192(802.1x only authentication),
193and
194.Dv IEEE80211_AUTH_WPA
195(WPA/802.11i/802.1x authentication).
196.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_BEACON_INTERVAL
197Return the time between Beacon frames (in TU) in
198.Va i_val .
199.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_BGSCAN
200Return whether background scanning is enabled in
201.Va i_val .
202When this value is non-zero and operating in station mode
203the station will periodically leave
204the current channel and scan for neighboring stations.
205See also
206.Dv IEEE80211_IOC_BGSCAN_IDLE
207and
208.Dv IEEE80211_IOC_BGSCAN_INTERVAL .
209.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_BGSCAN_IDLE
210Return in
211.Va i_val
212the minimum time (msecs) a station must be idle
213(i.e. not transmitting or receiving frames)
214before it will do a background scan.
215See also
216.Dv IEEE80211_IOC_BGSCAN_INTERVAL .
217.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_BGSCAN_INTERVAL
218Return in
219.Va i_val
220the minimum time (seconds) between background scan operations.
221See also
222.Dv IEEE80211_IOC_BGSCAN_IDLE .
223.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_BMISSTHRESHOLD
224Return in
225.Va i_val
226the number of consecutive missed Beacon frames before the system will
227attempt to roam to a different/better access point.
228.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_BSSID
229Return the MAC address for the current BSS identifier via
230.Va i_data .
231When the interface is running, the bssid is either the value
232configured locally (e.g. for an IBSS network started by the local station)
233or the value adopted when joining an existing network.
234For WDS interfaces this value is the address of the remote station.
235When the interface is not running, the bssid returned is the desired
236bssid, if any, that has been configured.
237.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_BURST
238Return whether or not packet bursting is enabled in
239.Va i_val .
240If this value is non-zero then the system will try to send packets closely
241spaced to improve throughput.
242.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_CHANINFO
243Return the set of available channels via
244.Va i_data .
245Note this data should be used by user applications to map between
246channel specifications (frequency and attributes) and IEEE channel numbers
247as user applications may not have the necessary information to do
248this directly (e.g. for 900MHz radios, operation in the Public Safety Band).
249.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_CHANLIST
250Return the current list of usable channels via
251.Va i_data .
252The channel list is returned as a bit vector with bit N set to 1 if
253IEEE channel number N is available for use.
254.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_CHANNEL
255Return the IEEE channel number of the current channel in
256.Va i_val .
257Note this request is deprecated; use
258.Dv IEEE80211_IOC_CURCHAN
259instead.
260.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_COUNTERMEASURES
261Return whether TKIP Countermeasures are enabled in
262.Va i_val .
263This value will be non-zero when Countermeasures are enabled and
264otherwise zero.
265.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_CURCHAN
266Return information for the current channel via
267.Va i_data .
268This information includes the IEEE channel number, the frequency, and
269attributes that describe the operating constraints (e.g. Passive Scan,
270DFS, usage restrictions).
271.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_DEVCAPS
272Return device capabilities in the data buffer pointed at by
273.Va i_data .
274The buffer must be large enough to return the number of available
275channels but otherwise may be made small to limit how much information
276is returned.
277.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_DFS
278Return whether or not Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is enabled in
279.Va i_val .
280DFS embodies several facilities including detection of overlapping
281radar signals, dynamic transmit power control, and channel selection
282according to a least-congested criteria.
283DFS support is mandatory for some 5GHz frequencies in certain
284locales (e.g. ETSI).
285By default DFS is enabled according to the regulatory definitions
286and the current country code, regdomain, and channel.
287.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_DOTD
288Return whether or not 802.11d support is enabled in
289.Va i_val .
290When 802.11d is enabled in station mode, Beacon frames that advertise
291a country code different than the currently configured country code will
292cause an event to be dispatched to user applications.
293This event can be used by the station to adopt that country code and
294operate according to the associated regulatory constraints.
295When operating as an access point with 802.11d enabled the Beacon and
296ProbeResponse frames transmitted will advertise the current regulatory
297domain settings.
298.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_DOTH
299Return whether 802.11h support is enabled in
300.Va i_val .
301When 802.11h is enabled Beacon and ProbeResponse frames will have
302the SpectrumMgt bit set in the capabilities field and
303country and power constraint information elements will be present.
304802.11h support also includes handling Channel Switch Announcements (CSA)
305which are a mechanism to coordinate channel changes by an access point.
306By default 802.11h is enabled if the device is capable.
307.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_DROPUNENCRYPTED
308Return, in
309.Va i_val ,
310whether unencrypted packets transmit/received should be discarded.
311This value will be zero if unencrypted packets will be accepted and
312non-zero if they are to be discarded.
313.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_DTIM_PERIOD
314Return the period (in beacon intervals) between DTIM events in
315.Va i_val .
316.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_DWDS
317Return, in
318.Va i_val ,
319whether or not Dynamic WDS support is enabled.
320Dynamic WDS is a facility by which packets may be tunneled over normal
321Infrastructure BSS associations using 4-address (WDS) frames.
322.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_FF
323Return, in
324.Va i_val ,
325whether Atheros fast-frames support is enabled.
326Fast-frames is a non-standard protocol extension that aggregates multiple
327frames to improve throughput.
328Note that enabling fast-frames support does not guarantee use;
329the client and access point must negotiate its use.
330.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_FRAGTHRESHOLD
331Return, in
332.Va i_val ,
333the threshold (in bytes) for enabling fragmentation frames.
334Packets larger than this value will automatically be split into multiple
335fragmented frames that are sent one after the other.
336.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_GREENFIELD
337Return, in
338.Va i_val ,
339whether or not Greenfield preamble use is enabled.
340This  setting is meaningful only when operating with 802.11n on an HT channel.
341.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_HIDESSID
342Return, in
343.Va i_val ,
344whether SSID hiding/cloaking is enabled.
345SSID hiding is only meaningful when operating as an access point.
346When this is enabled Beacon frames do not include the SSID and
347ProbeRequest frames are not answered unless they include the AP's SSID.
348This value will be non-zero when SSID hiding is enabled and otherwise zero.
349.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_HTCOMPAT
350Return, in
351.Va i_val ,
352whether or not 802.11n compatibility support is enabled.
353The 802.11n protocol specification went through several incompatible iterations.
354Some vendors implemented 11n support to older specifications that
355will not interoperate with a purely 11n-compliant station.
356In particular the information elements included in management frames
357for old devices are different.
358When compatibility support is enabled both standard and compatible data
359will be provided and/or accepted.
360.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_HTCONF
361Return the setting for automatic promotion of HT channels in
362.Va i_val .
363Promotion happens when the system must select a channel and may choose
364between legacy, HT20, and HT40 operation (e.g. when scanning).
365Valid values are:
3660 (do not promote, use legacy),
3671 (promote to HT20),

395(send broadcast Root Announcement (RANN) frames).
396.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_INACTIVITY
397Return whether or not the system handles inactivity processing in
398.Va i_val .
399When inactivity processing is enabled the system will track stations
400that have not transmitted frames and periodically probe them to
401check if they are still present.
402Stations that are inactive and do not respond to probes are dropped.
403.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_MACCMD
404Return information about the state of the MAC address
405access control list (ACL) system.
406There are two requests supported:
407.Dv IEEE80211_MACCMD_POLICY
408(to retrieve the current policy in

438to retrieve the contents of the routing table in the buffer pointed to by
439.Va i_data .
440.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_MESH_TTL
441Return, in

463This value is also termed the listen interval and represents the maximum time
464a station will sleep before waking to retrieve packets buffered by
465an access point.
466.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_PRIVACY
467Return the current MLME setting for PRIVACY in
468.Va i_val .
469When PRIVACY is enabled all data packets must be encrypted.
470This value will be zero if PRIVACY is disabled and
471non-zero when PRIVACY is enabled.
472.It Dv IEEE80211_IOC_PROTMODE
473Return the current 802.11g protection mode in
