.Nm bwn
|
||||
.Nd Broadcom BCM43xx IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network 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 siba_bwn"
|
||||
.Cd "device bwn"
|
||||
.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 :
|
||||
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||||
if_bwn_load="YES"
|
||||
.Ed
|
||||
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
driver provides support for Broadcom BCM43xx based
|
||||
PCI/CardBus network adapters.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
It supports
|
||||
.Cm station
|
||||
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 firmware to be loaded before it will work.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Pa ports/net/bwn-firmware-kmod
|
||||
port needs to be installed before
|
||||
.Xr ifconfig 8
|
||||
will work.
|
||||
.Sh HARDWARE
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
driver supports Broadcom BCM43xx based wireless devices, including:
