CVS commit: basesrc



Module Name:    basesrc
Committed By:   onoe
Date:           Wed Jul  5 02:35:55 UTC 2000

Modified Files:
        basesrc/sbin/ifconfig: ifconfig.c
        syssrc/sys/dev/ic: awi.c
        syssrc/sys/dev/pcmcia: if_ray.c if_wi.c if_wivar.h
        syssrc/sys/net: if_ieee80211.h

Log Message:
change the argument of SIOCS80211NWID and SIOCG80211NWID ioctls from
u_int8_t array to struct ieee80211_nwid to prepend length field.
The length field is necessary because IEEE 802.11 spec doesn't prohibit
even '\0' for SSID.
Though the name and the value of SIOC... macro is unchanged, this change
breaks binary compatibility.  The only affected userland program on the
tree is ifconfig(8).
As Jason suggested on tech-net, it is better than live with problems
since there are no releases for this ioctls yet.
