===== Configuration
ifconfig awi0 link0
changes to encapsulation from 802.2 LLC/SNAP (default) to
ether encapsulation. MELCO access point and PAO's ux driver
use this.
===== Supported Cards
Any IEEE 802.11 cards use AMD Am79C930 and Harris (Intersil) Chipset
with PCnetMobile firmware by AMD.
BayStack 650 1Mbps Frequency Hopping PCCARD adapter
BayStack 660 2Mbps Direct Sequence PCCARD adapter
Icom SL-200 2Mbps Direct Sequence PCCARD adapter
Melco WLI-PCM 2Mbps Direct Sequence PCCARD adapter
NEL SSMagic 2Mbps Direct Sequence PCCARD adapter
Netwave AirSurfer Plus
1Mbps Frequency Hopping PCCARD adapter
Netwave AirSurfer Pro
2Mbps Direct Sequence PCCARD adapter
===== Known Problems
WEP is not supported.
Does not create IBSS itself.
Cannot configure at all on FreeBSD:
selection of infrastructure/adhoc mode
ESSID
...
===== How to add
*** NetBSD current
already merged into current source tree.
pcmcia: update the awi driver, which now supports AMD 79c930-based
802.11DS cards as well as 802.11FH cards, and can operate
in infrastructure mode, adhoc mode, and wi(4) compatible
adhoc mode. [onoe 20000322]
*** FreeBSD-current
make directory /sys/dev/awi and put all files there.
move if_ieee80211.h to /sys/net
add following lines to /sys/conf/files
dev/awi/am79c930.c optional awi
dev/awi/awi.c optional awi
dev/awi/if_awi_pccard.c optional awi card
add following line to config file
device awi0
config and make kernel
add description of your card to /etc/pccard.conf
ex.
card "AMD" "Am79C930"
config 0x1 "awi0" ?
card "Icom" "SL-200"
config 0x1 "awi0" ?
card "Bay Networks" "BayStack 650 Wireless LAN"
config 0x1 "awi0" ?
