Hello, The man page for ifmedia(4) identifies the media modes defined for IEEE802.11 Wireless LAN under the heading "MEDIA TYPES AND OPTIONS FOR IEEE802.11 WIRELESS LAN".
For better consistency, I suggest changing "TYPES" to "MODES" in this heading. Also, back on Oct. 3, 2018, the Wi-Fi Alliance announced "Wi-Fi 4" and "Wi-Fi 5" as alternative nomenclatures for IEEE802.11 ”11n” and ”11ac” respectively. This alternative generation-based naming convention subsequently gained relatively widespread use and popularity. For better clarity, I suggest updating the descriptions of the corresponding media modes by replacing "[11n]" and "[11ac]" with "[11n (Wi-Fi 4)]" and "[11ac (Wi-Fi 5)]" respectively. Thank you for your assistance. Respectfully, Thomas Dunn Sent from my iPad
