33 .Nd "Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG/2225BG/2915ABG IEEE 802.11 driver"
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 line in
47 .Bd -literal -offset indent
53 driver provides support for
55 PRO/Wireless 2200BG/2915ABG MiniPCI and 2225BG PCI network adapters.
59 driver configures the adapter for BSS operation (aka infrastructure mode).
60 This mode requires the use of an access point.
62 For more information on configuring this device, see
65 This driver requires firmware to be loaded before it will work.
66 You need to install the
67 .Pa ports/net/iwi-firmware
72 Join an existing BSS network (i.e., connect to an access point):
74 .Dl "ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00"
76 Join a specific BSS network with network name
79 .Dl "ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_net"
81 Join a specific BSS network with 64-bit WEP encryption:
82 .Bd -literal -offset indent
83 ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_net \e
84 wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890 weptxkey 1
87 Join a specific BSS network with 128-bit WEP encryption:
88 .Bd -literal -offset indent
89 ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_net \e
90 wepmode on wepkey 0x01020304050607080910111213 weptxkey 1
94 .It "iwi%d: device timeout"
95 The driver will reset the hardware.
96 This should not happen.
97 .It "ipw%d: could not read firmware image"
98 The required firmware could not be found in
100 and therefore the card cannot operate.
102 .Pa ports/net/iwi-firmware
103 is installed correctly.
