wicontrol vs ifconfig

[The MiP RvL]

Hello

I've been working on a patch for the wi driver.
http://wleiden.webweaving.org:8080/svn/node-config/other/enh-sec-patch

This patch is against 5.0, and works; though has a few bugs.
It allows you to diable ssid broadcasting and to disable clients with a blank ssid.

The problem is that the firmware for the prism2 cards needed for this patch to work, is not supported by 5.0.

Therefor I started working on 5.1 and because wicontrol is obsolete I started working on ifconfig, but I got lost in the forest of ifconfig and net80211.

So, do I need to put this in ifconfig, eventhough this patch is not 80211 specific?
Is the net80211 in combination with ifconfig documented?
