.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
2002-07-14 14:47:15 +00:00
utility controls the operation of Aironet wireless networking
devices via the
.Xr an 4
driver.
Most of the parameters that can be changed relate to the
IEEE 802.11 protocol which the Aironet cards implement.
This includes such things as
the station name, whether the station is operating in ad-hoc (point
to point) or infrastructure mode, and the network name of a service
set to join.
The
.Nm
2002-07-14 14:47:15 +00:00
utility can also be used to view the current NIC status, configuration
and to dump out the values of the card's statistics counters.
.Pp
The
.Ar iface
argument given to
.Nm
should be the logical interface name associated with the Aironet
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
device
.Li ( an0 , an1 ,
etc.).
2005-02-13 22:25:33 +00:00
If one is not specified the device
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
.Dq Li an0
will be assumed.
.Pp
The
.Nm
2002-07-14 14:47:15 +00:00
utility is not designed to support the combination of arguments from different
.Sx SYNOPSIS
lines in a single
.Nm
invocation, and such combinations are not recommended.
.Sh OPTIONS
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl i Ar iface Fl A
Display the preferred access point list.
The AP list can be used by
stations to specify the MAC address of access points with which it
wishes to associate.
If no AP list is specified (the default) then
the station will associate with the first access point that it finds
which serves the SSID(s) specified in the SSID list.
The AP list can
be modified with the
.Fl a
option.
.It Fl i Ar iface Fl N
Display the SSID list.
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
This is a list of service set IDs (i.e., network names)
with which the station wishes to associate.
There may be up to three SSIDs
in the list: the station will go through the list in ascending order and
associate with the first matching SSID that it finds.
.It Fl i Ar iface Fl S
Display NIC status information.
This includes the current operating
status, current BSSID, SSID, channel, beacon period and currently
associated access point.
The operating mode indicates the state of
the NIC, MAC status and receiver status.
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
When the
.Qq Li synced
keyword
appears, it means the NIC has successfully associated with an access
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
point, associated with an ad-hoc
.Dq master
station, or become a
.Dq master
itself.
The beacon period can be anything between 20 and 976 milliseconds.
The default is 100.
.It Fl i Ar iface Fl I
Display NIC capability information.
This shows the device type,
2002-03-08 01:59:52 +00:00
frequency, speed and power level capabilities and firmware revision levels.
.It Fl i Ar iface Fl T
Display the NIC's internal statistics counters.
.It Fl i Ar iface Fl C
Display current NIC configuration.
This shows the current operation mode,
receive mode, MAC address, power save settings, various timing settings,
channel selection, diversity, transmit power and transmit speed.
.It Fl i Ar iface Fl Q
Display the cached signal strength information maintained by the
.Xr an 4
driver.
The driver retains information about signal strength and
noise level for packets received from different hosts.
The signal strength and noise level values are displayed in units of dBms by
default.
The
.Va hw.an.an_cache_mode
.Xr sysctl 8
variable can be set to
.Cm raw , dbm
or
.Cm per .
.It Fl i Ar iface Fl Z
Clear the signal strength cache maintained internally by the
.Xr an 4
driver.
.It Fl i Ar iface Fl R
Display RSSI map that converts from the RSSI index to percent and dBm.
.It Fl i Ar iface Fl t Cm 0 Ns - Ns Cm 4
Select transmit speed.
The available settings are as follows:

2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
.It Cm 0 Ta "None - power save disabled"
.It Cm 1 Ta "Constantly awake mode (CAM)"
.It Cm 2 Ta "Power Save Polling (PSP)"
.It Cm 3 Ta "Fast Power Save Polling (PSP-CAM)"
.El
.Pp
Note that for IBSS (ad-hoc) mode, only PSP mode is supported, and only
if the ATIM window is non-zero.
.It Fl i Ar iface Oo Fl v Cm 1 Ns - Ns Cm 4 Oc Fl a Ar AP
Set preferred access point.
The
.Ar AP
is specified as a MAC address consisting of 6 hexadecimal values
separated by colons.
By default, the
.Fl a
option only sets the first entry in the AP list.
The
.Fl v
modifier can be used to specify exactly which AP list entry is to be
modified.
If the
.Fl v
flag is not used, the first AP list entry will be changed.
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
.It Fl i Ar iface Fl b Ar beacon_period
Set the ad-hoc mode beacon period.
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
The

is specified in milliseconds.
The default is 100ms.
.It Fl i Ar iface Oo Fl v Cm 0 | 1 Oc Fl d Cm 0 Ns - Ns Cm 3
Select the antenna diversity.
Aironet devices can be configured with up
to two antennas, and transmit and receive diversity can be configured
accordingly.
Valid selections are as follows:
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
.Bl -column ".Em Selection" -offset indent
.Em "Selection Diversity"
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
.It Cm 0 Ta "Select factory default diversity"
.It Cm 1 Ta "Antenna 1 only"
.It Cm 2 Ta "Antenna 2 only"
.It Cm 3 Ta "Antenna 1 and 2"
.El
.Pp
The receive and transmit diversity can be set independently.
The user
must specify which diversity setting is to be modified by using the
.Fl v
option: selection
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
.Cm 0
sets the receive diversity and
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
.Cm 1
sets the transmit diversity.
.It Fl i Ar iface Fl e Cm 0 Ns - Ns Cm 4
Set the transmit WEP key to use.
Note that until this command is issued, the device will use the
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
last key programmed.
The transmit key is stored in NVRAM.
Currently
set transmit key can be checked via
.Fl C

2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
as the key to erase the key.
Supports 4 keys; even numbers are for permanent keys
and odd number are for temporary keys.
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
For example,
.Fl v Cm 1
sets the first temporary key.
(A
.Dq permanent
key is stored in NVRAM; a
.Dq temporary
key is not.)
Note that the device will use the most recently-programmed key by default.
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
Currently set keys can be checked via
.Fl C
option, only the sizes of the
keys are returned.
The value of
.Cm 8
is for the home key.
Note that the value for the home key can be read back from firmware.
.It Fl i Ar iface Fl K Cm 0 Ns - Ns Cm 2

Fix bugs in the structure for rx_frame by making gap length one byte and a packed array so sizeof work. This broke RFMON mode and passing up 802.11 packets. The Linux emulation code was derived from the open source Linux driver to maintain compatibility. LEAP support is added, hints from Richard Johnson. I've verified this locally with PC350v42510.img firmware. More bug fixing from Marco to fix long passwords. Change DELAYs in flash part of driver to FLASH_DELAY which uses tsleep so it doesn't look like your system died during a flash update. Install header files in /usr/include/dev/an Cleanup some ifmedia bugs add "Home" key mode to ifmedia and ancontrol. This way you can manage 2 keys a little easier. Map the home mode into key 5. Enhance ifconfig to dump the various configured SSIDs. I use a bunch of different ones and roam between them. Use the syntax similar to the WEP keys to deal with setting difference SSIDs. Bump up up the Card capabilities RID since they added 2 bytes to it in the latest firmware. Thankfully we changed it from a terminal failure so the card still worked but the driver whined. Some cleanup patches from Marco Molteni.

2001-12-31 22:01:44 +00:00
.It Fl i Ar iface Fl L Ar user_name
Enable LEAP and query for password.
It will check to see if it has authenticated for up to 60s.
To disable LEAP, set WEP mode.
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
.It Fl i Ar iface Fl j Ar netjoin_timeout
Set the ad-hoc network join timeout.
When a station is first activated
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
in ad-hoc mode, it will search out a
.Dq master
station with the desired
SSID and associate with it.
If the station is unable to locate another
station with the same SSID after a suitable timeout, it sets itself up
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
as the
.Dq master
so that other stations may associate with it.
This
timeout defaults to 10000 milliseconds (10 seconds) but may be changed
with this option.
The timeout should be specified in milliseconds.
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
.It Fl i Ar iface Fl l Ar station_name
Set the station name used internally by the NIC.
The
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
.Ar station_name
can be any text string up to 16 characters in length.
The default name
is set by the driver to
.Dq Li FreeBSD .
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
.It Fl i Ar iface Fl m Ar mac_address
Set the station address for the specified interface.
The
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
.Ar mac_address
is specified as a series of six hexadecimal values separated by colons,
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
e.g.:
.Li 00:60:1d:12:34:56 .
This programs the new address into the card
and updates the interface as well.
.It Fl i Ar iface Oo Fl v Cm 1 Ns - Ns Cm 3 Oc Fl n Ar SSID
Set the desired SSID (network name).
There are three SSIDs which allows
the NIC to work with access points at several locations without needing
to be reconfigured.
The NIC checks each SSID in sequence when searching
for a match.
The SSID to be changed can be specified with the
.Fl v
modifier option.
If the
.Fl v
2005-02-13 22:25:33 +00:00
flag is not used, the first SSID in the list is set.
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
.It Fl i Ar iface Fl o Cm 0 | 1
Set the operating mode of the Aironet interface.
Valid selections are
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00

.Sh SECURITY NOTES
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
WEP
.Pq Dq "wired equivalent privacy"
is based on the RC4 algorithm,
using a 24 bit initialization vector.
.Pp
2002-12-22 15:29:48 +00:00
RC4 is supposedly vulnerable to certain known plaintext attacks,
especially with 40 bit keys.
So the security of WEP in part depends on how much known plaintext
is transmitted.
.Pp
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
Because of this, although counter-intuitive, using
.Dq "shared key"
authentication (which involves sending known plaintext) is less
2001-09-11 11:12:53 +00:00
secure than using
.Dq open
authentication when WEP is enabled.
.Pp
Devices may alternate among all of the configured WEP keys when
2002-12-27 12:15:40 +00:00
transmitting packets.
Therefore, all configured keys (up to four) must agree.

.Sh BUGS
The statistics counters do not seem to show the amount of transmit
and received frames as increasing.
This is likely due to the fact that
the
.Xr an 4
driver uses unmodified packet mode instead of letting the NIC perform
802.11/ethernet encapsulation itself.
.Pp
Setting the channel does not seem to have any effect.
