Do not use raw roff requests.
Replace tbl(1)'s use with the mdoc(7)'s -column list.
Removed cross references to non-existing manpages.
Minor markup nits.
o Don't ever refer to ad-hoc mode in the raw. Instead, refer to it as
demo ad-hoc mode or lucent legacy demo ad-hoc or some variation on this
theme.
o Talk about point-to-point modes rather than ad-hoc modes. Use ibss where
appropriate.
o Fix type IBBS -> IBSS
o go ahead and document ibss-master and ibss modes, since there are
patches in the pipeline to support them.
o Note that they aren't implemented yet.
o Note that different regulatory domains have different default
channels.
o Note that Lucent cards prior to firmware 6.0.4 do not support
ibss mode, and only support the older demo ad-hoc mode.
o Note that PRISM2 chipsets do not support WDS mode of operation
(the mysterious -p 2 option).
Change date to today.
Add socket low power WLAN CF card
Add SMC 2602W which I use all the time
Comment out the create-ibss example. FreeBSD doesn't yet have that
media option. Also change it to master-ibss since that's what OpenBSD
really uses (and that is a change in their man page too)
however I'm adding the Dlink DWL520 as supported from OpenBSD. Also
adding Dlink DWL650 since I have one in my hot little hands and it
works great.
# I suspect that OpenBSD needs this too :-)
heavily on OpenBSD's wi man page, with OpenBSDisms replaced by
FreeBSDisms. I also added a note about where the man page came from.
I hope that I've not broken anything that ru cleaned up. We now run
this through tbl, but that appears to be automatic.

BTW, what editors are the culprits? I'm using vim and it shows
me whitespace at EOL in troff files with a thick blue block...

- Mention that the 6Mbps turbo adapters are supported in HARDWARE.TXT
and RELNOTES.TXT and the wi.4 man page
- Mention turbo adapters in the wicontrol.8 man page and provide a
complete table of available transmit speed settings
adapter (and some workalikes). Also add man pages and a wicontrol
utility to manipulate some of the card parameters.
This driver was written using information gleaned from the Lucent HCF Light
library, though it does not use any of the HCF Light code itself, mainly
because it's contaminated by the GPL (but also because it's pretty gross).
The HCF Light lacks certain featurs from the full (but proprietary) HCF
library, including 802.11 frame encapsulation support, however it has
just enough register information about the Hermes chip to allow someone
with enough spare time and energy to implement a proper driver. (I would
have prefered getting my hands on the Hermes manual, but that's proprietary
too. For those who are wondering, the Linux driver uses the proprietary
HCF library, but it's provided in object code form only.)
Note that I do not have access to a WavePOINT access point, so I have
only been able to test ad-hoc mode. The wicontrol utility can turn on
BSS mode, but I don't know for certain that the NIC will associate with
an access point correctly. Testers are encouraged to send their results
to me so that I can find out if I screwed up or not.
