40 device driver supports the Raytheon Raylink and Aviator 2.4/PRO
41 802.11 FH 2Mbps wireless PCMCIA cards. The cards can be operated in
42 either ad-hoc or infrastructure modes. The operating mode is
45 through a media option.
47 To communicate with other 802.11 cards a common network id or NWID must
48 be specified on each station that wishes to participate in the shared
49 wireless network. The NWID can
53 The device uses IEEE 802.11 standard Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum
54 signaling and operates in the ranges of 2.400 to 2.4835 Gigahertz.
55 This frequency range is further restricted by country according to
56 that country's regulations. Currently the
58 driver defaults to using the ranges appropriate for the USA.
59 To change this setting you must define the kernel option
60 RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_DEFAULT to one of the following values:
64 .Cd RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_USA
66 .Cd RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_EUROPE
68 .Cd RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_JAPAN

81 The output power of the transceiver is 100mW and the card's power consumption
82 is 365 mA @ 5 volts. The transmission range in open air (line of sight)
83 is a maximum of 1000 feet (or ~304 meters), and indoors (i.e., with
84 obstructions) it is a maximum of 500 feet (152 meters).
