Hello Oogie,

Get your stiching back in place?

The trick is to issue a PRIVATE ioctl on a properly opened socket and to
set the ifname member of the req structure.

Download this file:

ftp://ftp.absoval.com/pub/linux-wlan/linux-wlan-0.3.4.tar.gz

untar it and look at wlanctl/main.c.  There's an example of doing what
you're asking.

-Mark
