33 .Nd Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG/2225BG/2915ABG IEEE 802.11 driver
41 driver provides support for
43 PRO/Wireless 2200BG/2915ABG MiniPCI and 2225BG PCI network adapters.
47 driver configures the adapter for BSS operation (aka infrastructure mode).
48 This mode requires the use of an access point.
50 For more information on configuring this device, see
53 This driver requires firmware to be loaded before it will work.
56 from the IWI web page listed below to accomplish loading the firmware
61 Join an existing BSS network (ie: connect to an access point):
63 .Dl "ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00"
65 Join a specific BSS network with network name
68 .Dl "ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_net"
70 Join a specific BSS network with 64 bits WEP encryption:
71 .Bd -literal -offset indent
72 ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_net \e
73 wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890
76 Join a specific BSS network with 128bits WEP encryption:
77 .Bd -literal -offset indent
78 ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_net \e
79 wepmode on wepkey 0x01020304050607080910111213
83 .It "iwi%d: device timeout"
84 The driver will reset the hardware. This should not happen.
85 .It "iwi%d: Please load firmware"
86 The required firmeware has not been loaded into the card, and therefore
87 the card cannot operate. Load the firmware with
