Oy!
The BSD/ifnet mechanisms don't currently give you that kind of detail.
You'd have to get that from IOKit, and I don't know whether there is any
standard way of representing wireless devices that IOKit knows about
(Dean/Godfrey?).
This is what 'ioreg' shows for Airport:
| | | +-o radio@30000 <class AppleMacIODevice>
| | | | +-o AirPortDriver <class AirPortDriver>
| | | | +-o IOEthernetInterface <class
IOEthernetInterface>
| | | | | +-o IONetworkStack <class IONetworkStack>
| | | | | +-o IONetworkStackUserClient <class
IONetworkStackUserClient>
| | | | +-o AirPortUserClient <class AirPortUserClient>
| | | | +-o AirPortUserClient <class AirPortUserClient>
'airport' isn't going to work; and I don't know whether all wireless
devices show up as 'radio'.
What are you trying to do?
Regards,
Justin

In my NKE, is there a way to obtain information about the network
