35.Nd Intel Wireless AC and Centrino Wireless IEEE 802.11 wireless network driver
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Cd "iwm* at pci? dev ? function ?"
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39The
40.Nm
41driver provides support for
42Intel Wireless 3160, 3165, 3168, 4165, 7260, 7265, 8260, and 8265
43PCIe Mini Card Dual Band network adapters.

45By default, the
46.Nm
47driver configures the adapter for BSS operation (aka infrastructure mode).
48This mode requires the use of an access point.
