<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
<B>Iwpriv</B>
|
|
|
|
is the companion tool to
|
|
<I><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?8+iwconfig">iwconfig</A></I>(8).
|
|
|
|
<B>Iwpriv</B>
|
|
|
|
deals with parameters and setting specific to each driver (as opposed to
|
|
<I>iwconfig</I>
|
|
|
|
which deals with generic ones).
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
Without any argument,
|
|
<B>iwpriv</B>
|
|
|
|
list the available private commands available on each interface, and
|
|
the parameters that they require. Using this information, the user may
|
|
apply those interface specific commands on the specified interface.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
In theory, the documentation of each device driver should indicate how
|
|
to use those interface specific commands and their effect.
|
|

<H2>PARAMETERS</H2>

<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="1"><I>private-command</I> [<I>private-parameters</I>]
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Execute the specified
|
|
<I>private-command</I>
|
|
|
|
on the interface.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
|
|
The command may optionally take or require arguments, and may display
|
|
information. Therefore, the command line parameters may or may not be
|
|
needed and should match the command expectations. The list of commands
|
|
that
|
|
<B>iwpriv</B>
|
|
|
|
displays (when called without argument) should give you some hints
|
|
about those parameters.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
|
|
However you should refer to the device driver documentation for
|
|
information on how to properly use the command and the effect.
|
|
<DT id="2"><I>private-command </I>[<I>I</I>] [<I>private-parameters</I>]
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Idem, except that
|
|
<I>I</I>
|
|
|
|
(an integer) is passed to the command as a
|
|
<I>Token Index</I>.
|
|
|
|
Only some command will use the Token Index (most will ignore it), and
|
|
the driver documentation should tell you when it's needed.
|
|
<DT id="3"><B>-a</B>/<B>--all</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Execute and display all the private commands that don't take any
|
|
arguments (i.e. read only).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
</DL>
|

|
|
<H2>DISPLAY</H2>
|
|
|
|
For each device which support private commands,
|
|
<I>iwpriv</I>
|
|
|
|
will display the list of private commands available.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
This include the name of the private command, the number or arguments
|
|
that may be set and their type, and the number or arguments that may
|
|
be display and their type.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
For example, you may have the following display :
|
|
<BR>
|
|
|
|
<B>eth0 Available private ioctl :</B>
|
|
|
|
<BR>
|
|
|
|
<B> setqualthr (89F0) : set 1 byte & get 0</B>
|
|
|
|
<BR>
|
|
|
|
<B> gethisto (89F7) : set 0 & get 16 int</B>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
This indicate that you may set the quality threshold and display an
|
|
histogram of up to 16 values with the following commands :
|
|
<BR>
|
|
|
|
<I> iwpriv eth0 setqualthr 20</I>
|
|
|
|
<BR>
|
|
|
|
<I> iwpriv eth0 gethisto</I>
