these are safe to call from +any driver without prior initialization. +.Pp +.\" +The +.Fn ieee80211_ifattach +function attaches the wireless network interface +.Fa ic +to the 802.11 network stack layer. +This function must be called before using any of the +.Nm ieee80211 +functions which need to store driver state across invocations. +This function also performs Ethernet and BPF attachment (by calling +.Fn ether_ifattach +and +.Fn bpfattach2 ) +on behalf of the caller. +.Pp +.\" +The +.Fn ieee80211_ifdetach +function frees any +.Nm ieee80211 +structures associated with the driver, and performs Ethernet and BPF +detachment on behalf of the caller. +.Pp +.\" +The +.Fn ieee80211_mhz2ieee +utility function converts the frequency +.Fa freq +(specified in MHz) to an IEEE 802.11 channel number. +The +.Fa flags +argument is a hint which specifies whether the frequency is in +the 2GHz ISM band +.Pq Vt IEEE80211_CHAN_2GHZ +or the 5GHz band +.Pq Vt IEEE80211_CHAN_5GHZ ; +appropriate clipping of the result is then performed. +.Pp +.\" +The +.Fn ieee80211_chan2ieee +function converts the channel specified in +.Fa *c +to an IEEE channel number for the driver +.Fa ic . +If the conversion would be invalid, an error message is printed to the +system console. +This function REQUIRES that the driver is hooked up to the +.Nm ieee80211 +subsystem. +.Pp +.\" +The +.Fn ieee80211_ieee2mhz +utility function converts the IEEE channel number +.Ft chan +to a frequency (in MHz). +The +.Fa flags +argument is a hint which specifies whether the frequency is in +the 2GHz ISM band +.Pq Vt IEEE80211_CHAN_2GHZ +or the 5GHz band +.Pq Vt IEEE80211_CHAN_5GHZ ; +appropriate clipping of the result is then performed. +.Pp +.\" +The +.Fn ieee80211_media_init +function initializes media data structures used by the +.Vt ifmedia +interface for the driver +.Fa ic . +It must be called by the driver after calling +.Fn ieee80211_ifattach +and before calling most +.Nm ieee80211 +functions. +The +.Fa media_change +and +.Fa media_stat +arguments specify helper functions which will be invoked by the +.Vt ifmedia +framework when the user changes or queries media options, +using a command such as +.Xr ifconfig 8 . +.Pp +.\" +The +.Fn ieee80211_media_status +and +.Fn ieee80211_media_change +functions are device-independent handlers for +.Vt ifmedia +commands and are not intended to be called directly. +.Pp +.\" +The +.Fn ieee80211_watchdog +function is intended to be called from a driver's +.Va if_watchdog +routine. +It is used to perform periodic cleanup of state within the software 802.11 +stack, as well as timing out scans. +.Pp +.\" +The +.Fn ieee80211_setmode +function is called from within the 802.11 stack to change the mode +of the driver's PHY; it is not intended to be called directly. +.Pp +.\" +The +.Fn ieee80211_chan2mode +function returns the PHY mode required for use with the channel +.Fa chan +on the device +.Fa ic . +This is typically used when selecting a rate set, to be advertised in +beacons, for example. +.Pp +.\" +The +.Fn ieee80211_rate2media +function converts the bit rate +.Fa rate +(measured in units of 0.5Mbps) to an +.Vt ifmedia +sub-type, for the device +.Fa ic +running in PHY mode +.Fa mode . +The +.Fn ieee80211_media2rate +performs the reverse of this conversion, returning the bit rate (in 0.5Mbps +units) corresponding to an +.Vt ifmedia +sub-type. +.\" +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr ieee80211_crypto 9 , +.Xr ieee80211_input 9 , +.Xr ieee80211_ioctl 9 , +.Xr ieee80211_node 9 , +.Xr ieee80211_output 9 , +.Xr ieee80211_proto 9 , +.Xr ieee80211_radiotap 9 +.Sh HISTORY +The +.Nm ieee80211 +series of functions first appeared in +.Nx 1.5 , +and were later ported to +.Fx 4.6 . +.Sh AUTHORS +.An -nosplit +This man page was written by +.An Bruce M.
