NAME
ipw —
Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 IEEE
802.11 driver
SYNOPSIS
ipw* at pci? dev ? function ?
DESCRIPTION
The
ipw driver provides support for the Intel PRO/Wireless
2100 MiniPCI network adapter.
The Intel firmware requires acceptance of the End User License Agreement. The
full license text can be found in /libdata/firmware/if_ipw/LICENSE. The
license is agreed to by setting the sysctl variable
hw.ipw.accept_eula
to 1.
By default, the
ipw driver configures the adapter for BSS
operation (aka infrastructure mode). This mode requires the use of an access
point.
For more information on configuring this device, see
ifconfig(8).
EXAMPLES
Join an existing BSS network (i.e.: connect to an access point):
ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask
0xffffff00
Join a specific BSS network with network name
“
my_net
”:
ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask
0xffffff00 nwid my_net
Join a specific BSS network with 64 bits WEP encryption:
ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net \
nwkey 0x1234567890
Join a specific BSS network with 128bits WEP encryption:
ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net \
nwkey 0x01020304050607080910111213
DIAGNOSTICS
- ipw%d: device timeout
- The driver will reset the hardware. This should not
happen.
