NAME
iwpriv - configure optionals (private) parameters of a wireless
network interface
SYNOPSIS
iwpriv [interface]
iwpriv interface private-command [private-parameters]
iwpriv interface private-command [I] [private-parameters]
iwpriv interface --all
iwpriv interface roam {on,off}
iwpriv interface port {ad-hoc,managed,N}
DESCRIPTION
Iwpriv
is the companion tool to
iwconfig(8).
Iwpriv
deals with parameters and setting specific to each driver (as opposed to
iwconfig
which deals with generic ones).
Without any argument,
iwpriv
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.
In theory, the documentation of each device driver should indicate how
to use those interface specific commands and their effect.
PARAMETERS
- private-command [private-parameters]
-
Execute the specified
private-command
on the interface.
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
iwpriv
displays (when called without argument) should give you some hints
about those parameters.
However you should refer to the device driver documentation for
information on how to properly use the command and the effect.
- private-command [I] [ private-parameters ]
-
Idem, except that
I
(an integer) is passed to the command as a
Token Index.
Only some command will use the Token Index (most will ignore it), and
the driver documentation should tell you when it's needed.
- -a/--all
-
Execute and display all the private commands that don't take any
arguments (i.e. read only).
- roam
-
Enable or disable roaming, if supported. Call the private command
setroam.
Found in the
wavelan_cs
driver.
- port
-
Read or configure the port type. Call the private commands
gport_type, sport_type, get_port or set_port
found in the
wavelan2_cs and wvlan_cs drivers.
DISPLAY
For each device which support private commands,
iwpriv
will display the list of private commands available.
