[DragonFlyBSD - Bug #3367] ifconfig wlan0 lscan does not exists

[bugtracker-admin at leaf.dragonflybsd.org]

Issue #3367 has been updated by daftaupe.

Category set to Networking

So should we update the manual page first ? So that lscan appears as a suboption of the list command ?
Or should we try to change the behaviour of the scan command ?

The man page for ifconfig states that "lscan" is "a variant of scan that displays long SSIDs". But it does not exist:

    $ ifconfig wlan0 lscan
    ifconfig: lscan: bad value


What works is:

    $ ifconfig wlan0 list lscan

AFAIK, FreeBSD defaults to showing long SSIDs, which IMHO is more intuitive and useful.
