Hi,

I would like to remove the private functions as the "wireless tools"
package is deprecated. The following functions are available:
kernel@...rix-ESPRIMO-P710:~/Documents/git/kernels/staging$ iwpriv wlan0
wlan0 Available private ioctls :
read32 (8BE0) : set 1 int & get 0
write32 (8BE1) : set 1 int & get 0
driver_ext (8BE2) : set 0 & get 0
mp_ioctl (8BE3) : set 0 & get 0
apinfo (8BE4) : set 1 int & get 0
setpid (8BE5) : set 1 int & get 0
wps_start (8BE6) : set 1 int & get 0
chplan (8BE7) : set 1 int & get 0
What do you think about this?
Thanks
Bye Philipp
