Where does mac80211 provide equivalent > information? I cannot speak for mac80211, but the current implementation for SoftMAC only implements the GDRVINFO call. From it, you get that the driver is bcm43xx (big surprise), the kernel version (easier gotten by a uname -r), and the bus info. None of the operational parameters can be changed or interrogated. Is this enough to keep the ethtool interface? Because of the EOL for SoftMAC, this code will never be enhanced or extended. Does some userland code need this info?
