31.Sh NAME
32.Nm iwi
33.Nd Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG/2915ABG IEEE 802.11 driver
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Cd "iwi* at pci? dev ? function ?"
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Nm
39driver provides support for Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG and 2915ABG MiniPCI
40network adapters.
41.Pp
42By default, the
43.Nm
44driver configures the adapter for BSS operation (aka infrastructure mode).
45This mode requires the use of an access point.
46.Pp
47For more information on configuring this device, see
48.Xr ifconfig 8 .
49.Pp
50The Intel firmware requires acceptance of the End User License Agreement.
51The full license text can be found in
52.Pa /libdata/firmware/if_iwi/LICENSE.ipw2200-fw .
53The license is agreed to by setting the sysctl variable
54.Dv hw.iwi.accept_eula
55to 1.
56.Sh EXAMPLES
57Join an existing BSS network (i.e.: connect to an access point):
58.Pp
59.Dl "ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00"
60.Pp
61Join a specific BSS network with network name
62.Dq Li my_net :
63.Pp
64.Dl "ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net"
65.Pp
66Join a specific BSS network with 64 bits WEP encryption:
67.Bd -literal -offset indent
68ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net \e
69        nwkey 0x1234567890
70.Ed
71.Pp
72Join a specific BSS network with 128bits WEP encryption:
73.Bd -literal -offset indent
74ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net \e
75        nwkey 0x01020304050607080910111213
76.Ed
77.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
78.Bl -diag
79.It "iwi%d: device timeout"
80The driver will reset the hardware.
81This should not happen.
