support for Intel 2100/2200BG/2915ABG wireless devices written by
damien.bergamini@free.fr. This gets imported even though there is no firmware in the tree. This is a ridiculous situation: everything is free, everything works, except Intel will not let us put a little dinky firmware flat file into OpenBSD. So OpenBSD is ready for Intel whenever they are. Are you a consumer? Do you want to see this changed -- contact jketreno@linux.intel.com and tell him how you feel about this. He is likely someone who cannot do anything about it, though. If anyone can work up or down the chain around his department and get me contact information for various people, I will compile and later publish such a list. Go do it people -- this is how things will change. Get me email addresses and phone numbers.

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility controls the operation of Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG/2915ABG
+networking devices via
+.Xr iwi 4
+driver.
+.Pp
+You should not use this program to configure IEEE 802.11 parameters. Use
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+instead.
+.Sh OPTIONS
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl i Ar iface
+Displays adapter's internal statistics.
+.It Fl d Ar directory Fl m Ar bss|ibss
+Download firmware binary image to the adapter. The image is read from the
+.Ar directory
+directory. By default, the firmware binary image for BSS (aka infrastructure
+mode) mode is downloaded unless the
+.Fl m
+flag is given.
+.It Fl k
+Kill the firmware and reset the adapter.
+.It Fl r
+Displays the radio transmitter state (on or off).
