33 .Nd "Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG/2225BG/2915ABG IEEE 802.11 driver"
35 To compile support for the
37 driver into your kernel, place the following lines in your
38 kernel configuration file:
39 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
45 Alternatively, to load the
47 driver at boot time, place the following line in
49 .Bd -literal -offset indent
55 driver provides support for
57 PRO/Wireless 2200BG/2915ABG MiniPCI and 2225BG PCI network adapters.
61 driver configures the adapter for BSS operation (aka infrastructure mode).
62 This mode requires the use of an access point.
64 For more information on configuring this device, see
67 This driver requires firmware to be loaded before it will work.
70 from the IWI web page listed below to accomplish loading the firmware
75 Join an existing BSS network (i.e., connect to an access point):
77 .Dl "ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00"
79 Join a specific BSS network with network name
82 .Dl "ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_net"
84 Join a specific BSS network with 64-bit WEP encryption:
85 .Bd -literal -offset indent
86 ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_net \e
87 wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890
90 Join a specific BSS network with 128-bit WEP encryption:
91 .Bd -literal -offset indent
92 ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_net \e
93 wepmode on wepkey 0x01020304050607080910111213
97 .It "iwi%d: device timeout"
98 The driver will reset the hardware.
99 This should not happen.
100 .It "iwi%d: Please load firmware"
101 The required firmware has not been loaded into the card, and therefore
102 the card cannot operate.
