44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45The
46.Nm net80211
47layer includes
48.Xr ddb 4
49support for displaying important data structures.
50This is especially important because wireless applications are often
51built for embedded environments where cross-machine or post-mortem
52debugging facilities like
53.Xr kgdb 1 Pq Pa ports/devel/gdb
54are infeasible.
55.Pp
56The most commonly used command is
57.Bd -literal -offset indent
58show all vaps/a
59.Ed
60.Pp
61which dumps the contents of all
62.Vt ieee80211vap ,
63.Vt ieee80211com ,
64and
65.Vt ieee80211_node
66data structures in the system.
