.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver supports USB 2.0 wireless network devices based on the Atheros
AR9170 chipset.
.Pp
The Atheros AR9170 is a draft-802.11n adapter that uses an external
radio to operate in either 2.4GHz only or 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
.Pp
The AR9101 radio supports 1T1R operation in 2GHz only.
.Pp
The AR9102 radio supports 2T2R operation in 2GHz only.
.Pp
The AR9104 radio supports 2T2R operation both 2GHz and 5GHz.
.Pp
These are the modes the
.Nm
driver can operate in:
.Bl -tag -width "IBSS-masterXX"
.It BSS mode
Also known as
.Em infrastructure
mode, this is used when associating with an access point, through
which all traffic passes.
This mode is the default.
.El
.Pp
The
.Nm
driver can be configured to use
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK).
WPA is the de facto encryption standard for wireless networks.
It is strongly recommended that WEP
not be used as the sole mechanism
to secure wireless communication,
due to serious weaknesses in it.
.Pp
The
.Nm
driver can be configured at runtime with
.Xr ifconfig 8 .
.Sh FILES
The driver needs at least version 1.0 of the following firmware files,
which is loaded when an interface is attached:

.Sh HARDWARE
The
.Nm
driver provices support for Atheros AR9170 USB IEEE 802.11b/g/n
wireless network adapters, including:

.Sh EXAMPLES
Join an existing BSS network (i.e., connect to an access point):
.Bd -literal -offset indent
ifconfig wlan create wlandev otus0 inet 192.168.0.20 \e
netmask 0xffffff00
.Ed
.Pp
Join a specific BSS network with network name
.Dq Li my_net :
.Pp
.Dl "ifconfig wlan create wlandev otus0 ssid my_net up"
.Pp
Join a specific BSS network with 64-bit WEP encryption:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
ifconfig wlan create wlandev otus0 ssid my_net \e
wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890 weptxkey 1 up
.Ed
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
.Bl -diag
.It "%s: failed load firmware of file otusfw-main"
For some reason, the driver was unable to read the microcode file from the
filesystem.
The file might be missing or corrupted.
.El
This module provides the firmware for the Atheros AR9170 based
USB WiFi adapters.
