.SH NAME
iwi \- Intel Pro. Wireless 802.11a/b/g IPW2200B/G IPW2915A/B/G Driver
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The  \fBiwi\fR \fI802.11b/g \fR wireless NIC driver is a multi-threaded,
loadable, clonable,  GLDv3-based STREAMS driver supporting  the Data Link
Provider Interface, \fBdlpi\fR(7P), on Intel Pro Wireless 2200BG 2915ABG
chipset-based wireless NIC's. Driver functions include controller
initialization, wireless \fI802.11b \fR infrastructure network connection, WEP
and frame transmit and receive.
.SH DRIVER CONFIGURATION
.sp
.LP
The \fBiwi\fR driver performs auto-negotiation to determine the data rate and
mode. Supported \fI802.11b \fR data rates are 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbits/sec.
Supported \fI802.11g\fR data rates are 1, 2, 5.5, 11, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48
and 54 Mbits/sec.
.sp
.LP
The \fBiwi\fR driver supports only BSS networks (also known as "ap" or
"infrastructure" networks) and "open"(or "open-system") or "shared system"
authentication. Only WEP encryption is currently supported. You perform
configuration and administration tasks using the \fBdladm\fR(1M) and
\fBwificonfig\fR(1M) utilities.
