32.Sh NAME
33.Nm ipw
34.Nd Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 IEEE 802.11 driver
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.Cd "ipw* at pci? dev ? function ?"
37.Sh DESCRIPTION
38The
39.Nm
40driver provides support for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 MiniPCI network
41adapter.
42.Pp
43By default, the
44.Nm
45driver configures the adapter for BSS operation (aka infrastructure mode).
46This mode requires the use of an access point.
47.Pp
48For more information on configuring this device, see
49.Xr ifconfig 8 .
50.Sh EXAMPLES
51Join an existing BSS network (i.e.: connect to an access point):
52.Pp
53.Dl "ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00"
54.Pp
55Join a specific BSS network with network name
56.Dq Li my_net :
57.Pp
58.Dl "ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net"
59.Pp
60Join a specific BSS network with 64 bits WEP encryption:
61.Bd -literal -offset indent
62ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net \e
63        nwkey 0x1234567890
64.Ed
65.Pp
66Join a specific BSS network with 128bits WEP encryption:
67.Bd -literal -offset indent
68ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net \e
69        nwkey 0x01020304050607080910111213
70.Ed
71.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
72.Bl -diag
73.It "ipw%d: device timeout"
74The driver will reset the hardware.
75This should not happen.
