Initial import of wpi(4), a blob-free driver for Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
802.11 adapters as found in Centrino Duo laptops.
More to come but works well enough for me to commit this over a wpi(4).

40-bit encryption; or 104-bit encryption. +Unfortunately, due to serious weaknesses in WEP protocol +it is strongly recommended that it not be used as the +sole mechanism to secure wireless communication. +WEP is not enabled by default. +.Sh CONFIGURATION +The +.Nm +driver can be configured at runtime with +.Xr ifconfig 8 +or on boot with +.Xr hostname.if 5 +using the following parameters: +.Bl -tag -width Ds +.It Cm bssid Ar bssid +Set the desired BSSID. +.It Fl bssid +Unset the desired BSSID. +The interface will automatically select a BSSID in this mode, which is +the default. +.It Cm chan Ar n +Set the channel (radio frequency) to be used by the driver based on +the given channel ID +.Ar n . +.It Fl chan +Unset the desired channel to be used by the driver. +The driver will automatically select a channel in this mode, which is +the default. +.It Cm media Ar media +The +.Nm +driver supports the following +.Ar media +types: +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width autoselect -compact +.It Cm autoselect +Enable autoselection of the media type and options. +.El +.It Cm mediaopt Ar opts +The +.Nm +driver supports the following media options: +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width monitor -compact +.It Cm monitor +Select monitor mode. +.El +.It Fl mediaopt Ar opts +Disable the specified media options on the driver and return it to the +default mode of operation (BSS). +.It Cm mode Ar mode +The +.Nm +driver supports the following modes: +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width 11b -compact +.It Cm 11a +Force 802.11a operation. +.It Cm 11b +Force 802.11b operation. +.It Cm 11g +Force 802.11g operation. +.El +.It Cm nwid Ar id +Set the network ID. +The +.Ar id +can either be any text string up to 32 characters in length, +or a series of hexadecimal digits up to 64 digits. +An empty +.Ar id +string allows the interface to connect to any available access points. +By default the +.Nm +driver uses an empty string. +Note that network ID is synonymous with Extended Service Set ID (ESSID). +.It Cm nwkey Ar key +Enable WEP encryption using the specified +.Ar key . +The +.Ar key +can either be a string, a series of hexadecimal digits (preceded by +.Sq 0x ) , +or a set of keys of the form +.Dq n:k1,k2,k3,k4 , +where +.Sq n +specifies which of the keys will be used for transmitted packets, +and the four keys, +.Dq k1 +through +.Dq k4 , +are configured as WEP keys. +If a set of keys is specified, a comma +.Pq Sq \&, +within the key must be escaped with a backslash. +Note that if multiple keys are used, their order must be the same within +the network. +.Nm +is capable of using both 40-bit (5 characters or 10 hexadecimal digits) +or 104-bit (13 characters or 26 hexadecimal digits) keys. +.It Fl nwkey +Disable WEP encryption. +This is the default mode of operation. +.El +.Sh FILES +The driver needs at least version 1.13 of the following firmware file, +which is loaded on demand when the device is attached: +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact +.It Pa /etc/firmware/wpi-ucode +.El +.Pp +This firmware file is not free because Intel refuses to grant +distribution rights without contractual obligations. +As a result, even though +.Ox +includes the driver, the firmware file cannot be included and +users have to download this file on their own. +The official person to state your views to about this issue is +peter.engelbrecht@intel.com at (858) 391 1857. +.Pp +A prepackaged version of the firmware, designed to be used with +.Xr pkg_add 1 , +can be found at: +.Pp +.Pa http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/packages/openbsd/wpi-firmware-1.13.tgz +.Sh EXAMPLES +The following +.Xr hostname.if 5 +example configures wpi0 to join whatever network is available on boot, +using WEP key +.Dq 0x1deadbeef1 , +channel 11, obtaining an IP address using DHCP: +.Bd -literal -offset indent +dhcp NONE NONE NONE nwkey 0x1deadbeef1 chan 11 +.Ed +.Pp +Configure wpi0 for WEP, using hex key +.Dq 0x1deadbeef1 : +.Bd -literal -offset indent +# ifconfig wpi0 nwkey 0x1deadbeef1 +.Ed +.Pp +Return wpi0 to its default settings: +.Bd -literal -offset indent +# ifconfig wpi0 -bssid -chan media autoselect \e + nwid "" -nwkey +.Ed +.Pp +Join an existing BSS network, +.Dq my_net : +.Bd -literal -offset indent +# ifconfig wpi0 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net +.Ed +.Sh DIAGNOSTICS +.Bl -diag +.It "wpi%d: device timeout" +The driver will reset the hardware. +This should not happen. +.El +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr pkg_add 1 , +.Xr arp 4 , +.Xr ifmedia 4 , +.Xr intro 4 , +.Xr netintro 4 , +.Xr pci 4 , +.Xr hostname.if 5 , +.Xr ifconfig 8 +.Rs +.%T The IPW Web Page +.%O http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/ +.Re +.Sh AUTHORS +The +.Nm +driver was written by +.An Damien Bergamini Aq damien@openbsd.org . |
