NAME
iwi —
Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG/2915ABG
IEEE 802.11 driver
SYNOPSIS
iwi* at pci? dev ? function ?
DESCRIPTION
The
iwi driver provides support for Intel(R) PRO/Wireless
2200BG and 2915ABG MiniPCI network adapters.
By default, the
iwi 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).
The Intel firmware requires acceptance of the End User License Agreement. The
full license text can be found in
/libdata/firmware/if_iwi/LICENSE.ipw2200-fw. The license is
agreed to by setting the sysctl variable
hw.iwi.accept_eula
to 1.
EXAMPLES
Join an existing BSS network (i.e.: connect to an access point):
ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask
0xffffff00
Join a specific BSS network with network name
“
my_net
”:
ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask
0xffffff00 nwid my_net
Join a specific BSS network with 64 bits WEP encryption:
ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net \
nwkey 0x1234567890
Join a specific BSS network with 128bits WEP encryption:
ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net \
nwkey 0x01020304050607080910111213
DIAGNOSTICS
- iwi%d: device timeout
- The driver will reset the hardware. This should not
happen.
