|
|
.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 pci"
|
|
.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_wpi_load="YES"

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

.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
Join an existing BSS network (i.e., connect to an access point):
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wpi0 inet 192.168.0.20 \e
|
|
netmask 0xffffff00

.Dq Li my_net :
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wpi0 ssid my_net up"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Join a specific BSS network with 64-bit WEP encryption:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wpi0 ssid my_net \e
|
|
wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890 weptxkey 1 up
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Join a specific BSS network with 128-bit WEP encryption:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wpi0 wlanmode adhoc ssid my_net \e
|
|
wepmode on wepkey 0x01020304050607080910111213 weptxkey 1

.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It "wpi%d: could not load firmware image '%s'"
|
|
The driver failed to load the firmware image using the
|
|
.Xr firmware 9
|
|
subsystem.
|
|
Verify the
|
|
.Xr wpifw
|
|
firmware module is installed.
|
|
.It "wpi%d: fatal firmware error"
|
|
An unknown error has occurred in the uploaded firmware, you may have to
|
|
unload/reload the driver to continue.
