+Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11 PCMCIA driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "device wi0 at pcmcia?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for WaveLAN/IEEE PCCARD adapters (also known
+as WaveLAN II cards). Note that while Lucent sells both ISA and PCMCIA
+WaveLAN/IEEE devices, the ISA product is actually a PCMCIA card in an
+ISA to PCMCIA bridge adapter. Consequently, the
+.Nm
+driver is required for both the ISA and PCMCIA NICs. Both the original
+2Mbps WaveLAN/IEEE cards and the newer 6Mbps WaveLAN/IEEE Turbo
+adapters are supported.
+.Pp
+The core of the WaveLAN/IEEE is the Lucent Hermes controller. All
+host/device interaction is via programmed I/O with the Hermes. The
+Hermes supports 802.11 and 802.3 frames, power management, BSS, WDS
+and ad-hoc operation modes. The
+.Nm
+driver encapsulates all IP and ARP traffic as 802.11 frames, however
+it can receive either 802.11 or 802.3 frames. Transmit speed is
+selectable between 1Mbps fixed, 2Mbps fixed or 2Mbps with auto fallback.
+For WaveLAN/IEEE Turbo adapters, speeds up to 6Mbps are available.
+.Pp
+By default, the
+.Nm
+driver configures the WaveLAN card for ad-hoc operation. In this mode,
+stations can communicate among each other without the aid of an access
+point. To join a service set, the driver must be set for BSS mode using
+the
+.Xr wicontrol 8
+utility.
+.Pp
+For more information on configuring this device, see
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "wi%d: init failed"
+The WaveLAN failed to come ready after an initialization command was
+issued.
+.It "wi%d: failed to allocate %d bytes on NIC"
+The driver was unable to allocate memory for transmit frames in the
+NIC's on-board RAM.
+.It "wd%d: device timeout"
+The WaveLAN failed to generate an interrupt to acknowledge a transmit
+command.
