Hi,
I have a doubt regarding the do_ioctl entry point of net_device structure and \
.private entry point of iw_handler_def structure. I went through the wireless drivers \
in Linux. Some of them have implemented do_ioctl entry point of net_device structure \
to define their private IOCTLS ( from SIOCIWFIRSTPRIV to SIOCIWFIRSTPRIV+31) where \
some drivers have used .private entry point of iw_handler_def structure for the same. \
So are these two interfaces for private IOCTLs same ?
Secondly private_args of iw_handler_def is for the arguments to the private handlers. \
Does that mean, if I use do_ioctl then I dont need to fill private_args of \
iw_handler_def ?
Please Suggest.
Regards,
