What ioctl is this exactly? Wireless drivers should be using nl80211,
not any ioctl interface.

Hi Kalle,

The terminology is a bit off. This is vendor specific command interfacing directly with firmware and the content is opaque from driver perspective. However, a number of these commands have their nl80211 equivalent. Especially regarding creation of AP interface I would simply go with creation through nl80211.
