35 To compile this driver into the kernel,
36 place the following lines in your
37 kernel configuration file:
38 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
44 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
45 module at boot time, place the following lines in
47 .Bd -literal -offset indent
54 driver provides support for the
56 PRO/Wireless 2100 MiniPCI network adapter.
60 driver configures the adapter for BSS operation (aka infrastructure mode).
61 This mode requires the use of an access point.
63 For more information on configuring this device, see
66 This driver requires firmware to be loaded before it will work.
69 from the IPW web page listed below to accomplish loading the firmware
74 Join an existing BSS network (i.e., connect to an access point):
76 .Dl "ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00"
78 Join a specific BSS network with network name
81 .Dl "ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_net"
83 Join a specific BSS network with 40-bit WEP encryption:
84 .Bd -literal -offset indent
85 ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_net \e
86 wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890
89 Join a specific BSS network with 104-bit WEP encryption:
90 .Bd -literal -offset indent
91 ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_net \e
92 wepmode on wepkey 0x01020304050607080910111213
96 .It "ipw%d: device timeout"
97 The driver will reset the hardware.
98 This should not happen.
99 .It "ipw%d: Please load firmware"
100 The required firmware has not been loaded into the card, and therefore
101 the card cannot operate.
