pcmcia? function ?" -.Cd "wi* at macobio?" -.Sh DESCRIPTION -The -.Nm -driver provides support for PCMCIA adapters based on the Lucent Technologies -WaveLAN/IEEE (aka WaveLAN II) and Intersil PRISM-II

-devices, the PCI and ISA products are actually a PCMCIA card in a -PCMCIA bridge adapter. -Consequently, the -.Nm -driver is required for PCI, ISA and PCMCIA NICs. -The original WaveLAN/IEEE cards (2Mbps), the WaveLAN/IEEE Turbo (6Mbps), the -WaveLAN/IEEE Bronze Turbo (8Mbps), and the -WaveLAN/IEEE Silver/Gold (11Mbps) adapters are supported. -.Pp -Unlike the Lucent devices, several vendors sell PCI adapters built -around the PLX Technology 9050 or 9052 chip. -These adapters are dumb PCMCIA bridges that do not attach as a -normal PCMCIA bus. -Instead they appear to the host as a normal PCI device and do -not require any PCMCIA support. -Some have a real PCI interface chip on them. -The following such bridges are supported or expected to work: -.Pp -.Bl -tag -width -offset indent

at 3.3V, hence -.Xr cardbus 4 -support is required for those cards to set VCC correctly, even -though they are really 16bit cards. -.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. -.Pp -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, 2Mbps -with auto fallback, 6Mbps, 8Mbps, or 11Mbps depending on your hardware -(see above). -The Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE Silver and Gold cards as well as the Intersil -PRISM-II cards have support for WEP encryption. -The WaveLAN Gold cards support 104bit keys, the others only accept -40bit keys. -The Lucent Bronze cards do not support WEP. -To enable the encryption, use the -.Xr wicontrol 8 -utility to set your keys. -.Pp -By default, the -.Nm -driver configures the WaveLAN card for BSS operation (aka infrastructure -mode). -This mode requires the use of an access point (base station). -.br -The -.Nm -driver also supports an ad-hoc (point-to-point) mode where -the nwid is ignored and stations can communicate among -each other without the aid of an access point. -Note that this mode is not in the IEEE 802.11 specification and the -driver may not be able to interoperate with other vendor's cards -while in ad-hoc mode. -.Pp -For more information on configuring this device, see -.Xr ifconfig 8 . -.Sh DIAGNOSTICS -.Bl -diag -.It "wi%d: init failed" -The WaveLAN card 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 "wi%d: device timeout" -The WaveLAN failed to generate an interrupt to acknowledge a transmit -command. -.El -.Sh SEE

<niklas@appli.se>. -.Sh CAVEATS -The original Lucent WaveLAN cards usually default to channel 3; -newer cards use channel 10 by default. -Non-Lucent cards vary, for instance the Addtron cards use channel -11 by default. -See -.Xr wicontrol 8 -for information on how to change the channel. |
