.Nd "Intel 3945ABG Wireless LAN IEEE 802.11 driver"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel,
|
|
place the following lines in your
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "device wpi"
|
|
.Cd "device wpifw"

.Cd "device wlan"
|
|
.Cd "device wlan_amrr"
|
|
.Cd "device firmware"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
|
|
module at boot time, place the following line in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for the
|
|

3945ABG Wireless network adapter
|
|
.Nm
|
|
supports
|
|
.Cm station ,
|
|
.Cm adhoc ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm monitor
|
|
mode operation.
|
|
Only one virtual interface may be configured at any time.
|
|
For more information on configuring this device, see
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This driver requires the firmware built with the
|
|
.Nm wpifw
|
|
module to work.
