 * @NL80211_CMD_SET_INTERFACE: Set type of a virtual interface, requires

 * @NL80211_CMD_NEW_INTERFACE: Newly created virtual interface or response
 *	to %NL80211_CMD_GET_INTERFACE. Has %NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX,

 *	%NL80211_ATTR_IFNAME.
 * @NL80211_CMD_DEL_INTERFACE: Virtual interface was deleted, has attributes
 *	%NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX and %NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY. Can also be sent from
 *	userspace to request deletion of a virtual interface, then requires
