-.Sh NAME
-.Nm wi
-.Nd WaveLAN/IEEE and PRISM-II 802.11DS wireless network driver
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Cd "wi* at pci? dev ? function ?"
-.Cd "wi* at 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 chipsets.
-The compatible cards supported are:
-.Pp
-.Bl -tag -width -offset indent -compact
-.It 3Com AirConnect Wireless LAN
-.It Addtron AWP-100
-.It BUFFALO AirStation 11Mbps PC Card
-.It BUFFALO AirStation 11Mbps CF Card
-.It Cabletron RoamAbout
-.It Compaq Agency NC5004 Wireless Card
-.It Contec FLEXLAN/FX-DS110-PCC
-.It Corega Wireless LAN PCC-11
-.It Corega Wireless LAN PCCA-11
-.It Corega Wireless LAN PCCB-11
-.It EMTAC A2424i 11Mbps PC Card
-.It Ericsson Wireless LAN CARD C11
-.It I-O DATA WN-B11/PCM
-.It Intel PRO/Wireless 2011
-.It Intersil Prism II
-.It Linksys WPC11
-.It NANOSPEED ROOT-RZ2000 WLAN Card
-.It NDC/Sohoware NCP130
-.It NEC Wireless Card CMZ-RT-WP
-.It NTT-ME 11Mbps Wireless LAN PC Card
-.It Proxim RangeLAN-DS PCMCIA card
-.It Samsung MagicLAN SWL-2000N
-.It Symbol's Spectrum24 Wireless PC Card
-.It SMC 2632 EZ Connect Wireless PC Card
-.It TDK LAK-CD011WL
-.It XI300 Wireless LAN
-.El
-.Pp
-Note that while Lucent sells PCI, ISA and PCMCIA WaveLAN/IEEE
-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 -compact
-.It 3Com AirConnect 3CRWE777A
-.It Belkin F5D6000 (a rebadged WL11000P)
-.It Eumitcom WL11000P
-.It Global Sun Technology GL24110P (untested)
-.It Global Sun Technology GL24110P02
-.It Intersil Mini-PCI (real PCI)
-.It LinkSys WDT11 (a rebadged GL24110P02)
-.It Netgear MA301
-.It US Robotics 2415 (rebadged WL11000P)
-.El
-.Pp
-Also note that some of the PRISM-II adapters only work 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.

-.Sh HISTORY
-The
-.Nm
-device driver first appeared in
-.Fx 3.0 .
-.Ox
-support was added in
-.Ox 2.6 .
-.Sh AUTHORS
-The
-.Nm
-driver was written by Bill Paul <wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu> and ported to
-.Ox
-by Niklas Hallqvist <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.
