I propose to deprecate these wiconfig flags:
-c Create IBSS: use ifconfig wi0 mediaopt adhoc, which turns on the
802.11-compliant behavior
-e enable WEP: use ifconfig wi0 nwkey ...
-f set channel: use ifconfig wi0 chan ch
-k set WEP keys: use ifconfig wi0 nwkey ...
-n set desired SSID to join in IBSS mode: use ifconfig wi0 nwid id
-p set the desired port type: use ifconfig wi0 mediaopt ...
-q set SSID to create: use ifconfig wi0 nwid ...
-t set TX rate: ifconfig wi0 media ...
-A set authentication type: ifconfig wi0 nwkey ...
-S set maximum sleep interval: ifconfig wi0 powersavesleep ...
-P enable power management: ifconfig wi0 powersave
-T select WEP key for transmitted packets: ifconfig wi0 nwkey n:k1,k2,k3,k4
-Z unimplemented
Objections?
Dave
