+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These
+functions are typically invoked by drivers in response to requests
+for information or to change settings from the userland.
+.Pp
+.\"
+The
+.Fn ieee80211_cfgget
+and
+.Fn ieee80211_cfgset
+functions implement a legacy interface for getting and setting 802.11
+interface attributes respectively.
+.Pp
+.\"
+The
+.Fn ieee80211_ioctl
+function provides a default implementation of the
+.Dv SIOCS80211
+and
+.Dv SIOCG80211
+ifioctls commands for 802.11 drivers.
+The call signature is identical to that of the
+.Va if_ioctl
+member found in
+.Vt struct ifnet ,
+however, many drivers store attributes such as
+.Dv IEEE80211_IOC_STATIONNAME
+in the driver's private soft state structure, so driver writers may prefer
+to use this as the catch-all in a switch statement to avoid code duplication.
