36 .Cd "ipw* at pci? dev ? function ?"
40 driver provides support for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 MiniPCI network
43 The Intel firmware requires acceptance of the End User License Agreement.
44 The full license text can be found in
45 /libdata/firmware/if_ipw/LICENSE.
46 The license is agreed to by setting the sysctl variable
47 .Dv hw.ipw.accept_eula
52 driver configures the adapter for BSS operation (aka infrastructure mode).
53 This mode requires the use of an access point.
55 For more information on configuring this device, see
58 Join an existing BSS network (i.e.: connect to an access point):
60 .Dl "ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00"
62 Join a specific BSS network with network name
65 .Dl "ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net"
67 Join a specific BSS network with 64 bits WEP encryption:
68 .Bd -literal -offset indent
69 ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net \e
73 Join a specific BSS network with 128bits WEP encryption:
74 .Bd -literal -offset indent
75 ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net \e
76 nwkey 0x01020304050607080910111213
