|
.Nd Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 IEEE 802.11 driver
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
.Cd "device ipw"
|
|
|
|
|
.Cd "device pci"
|
|
|

|
.Cd "device wlan"
|
|

|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
driver provides support for the
|
|
|
|
|
.Tn Intel
|
|
|
|
|
PRO/Wireless 2100 MiniPCI network adapter.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
By default, the
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
driver configures the adapter for BSS operation (aka infrastructure mode).
|
|
|
|
|
This mode requires the use of an access point.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
For more information on configuring this device, see
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8 .
|
2005-06-01 07:13:21 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
This driver requires firmware to be loaded before it will work.
|
|
|
|
|
You need to obtain
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr ipwcontrol 8
|
|
|
|
|
from the IPW web page listed below to accomplish loading the firmware
|
|
|
|
|
before
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8
|
|
|
|
|
will work.

|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
|
Join an existing BSS network (ie: connect to an access point):
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
.Dl "ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00"
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
Join a specific BSS network with network name
|
|
|
|
|
.Dq Li my_net :
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
.Dl "ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_net"
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
Join a specific BSS network with 40bit WEP encryption:
|
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
|
|
|
ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_net \e
|
|
|
|
|
wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890
|
|
|
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
Join a specific BSS network with 104bit WEP encryption:
|
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
|
|
|
ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_net \e
|
|
|
|
|
wepmode on wepkey 0x01020304050607080910111213
|

.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
|
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
|
|
|
.It "ipw%d: device timeout"
|
|
|
|
|
The driver will reset the hardware. This should not happen.
|
2005-06-01 07:13:21 +00:00
|
|
|
.It "ipw%d: Please load firmware"
|
|
|
|
|
The required firmeware has not been loaded into the card, and therefore
|
|
|
|
|
the card cannot operate. Load the firmware with
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr ipwcontrol 8
|
|
|
|
|
