>Description:
The man page for wlan(4) has references to a non-existent debug utility:

"80211debug".  I'm guessing it was renamed at some point, but someone forgot to update the man page.

The correct utility is "wlandebug(8)".  Simple fix (attached) to wlan.4
>How-To-Repeat:
man 4 wlan, and look for the string 80211debug

>Fix:
Attached unified diff patch.
