 NAME
iwh - Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100/5300 Driver
 DESCRIPTION

The iwh 802.11a/g/n wireless NIC driver is a multi-threaded,
loadable, clonable, GLDv3-based STREAMS driver supporting the Intel Shirley
Peak WiFi chipset-based NIC's. Driver functions include controller
initialization, wireless 802.11 infrastructure network connection, WEP
and frame transmit and receive.
 CONFIGURATION
