+.Sh NAME
+.Nm pgt
+.Nd Connexant/Intersil Prism GT Full-MAC IEEE 802.11a/b/g wireless adapters
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "pgt* at pci?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for Connexant/Intersil GT-series devices
+which can support the Full-Mac firmwares, using the ISL3877,
+ISL3880, and ISL3890 chips.
+The
+.Nm
+driver will not (yet) work on similar devices using the ISL3886 or
+similar chips which are known as Soft-Mac.
+.Pp
+These are the modes the
+.Nm
+driver can operate in:
+.Bl -tag -width "IBSS-masterXX"
+.It BSS mode
+Also known as
+.Em infrastructure
+mode, this is used when associating with an access point, through
+which all traffic passes.
+This mode is the default.
+.\" .It IBSS mode
+.\" Also known as
+.\" .Em IEEE ad-hoc
+.\" mode or
+.\" .Em peer-to-peer
+.\" mode.
+.\" This is the standardized method of operating without an access point.
+.\" Stations associate with a service set.
+.\" However, actual connections between stations are peer-to-peer.
+.\" .It Host AP
+.\" In this mode the driver acts as an access point (base station)
+.\" for other cards.
+.\" .It monitor mode
+.\" In this mode the driver is able to receive packets without
+.\" associating with an access point.
+.\" This disables the internal receive filter and enables the card to
+.\" capture packets from networks which it wouldn't normally have access to,
+.\" or to scan for access points.
+.El
+.Pp
+.Nm
+supports software WEP.
+Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the de facto encryption standard
+for wireless networks.
+It can be typically configured in one of three modes:
+no encryption; 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.
+.Pp
+The transmit speed is user-selectable or can be adapted automatically by the
+driver depending on the received signal strength and on the number of hardware
+transmission retries.
+See
+.Xr rssadapt 9
+for more information.
+.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.
+.It Cm DS1
+Set 802.11b DS 1Mbps operation.
+.It Cm DS2
+Set 802.11b DS 2Mbps operation.
+.It Cm DS5
+Set 802.11b DS 5.5Mbps operation.
+.It Cm DS11
+Set 802.11b DS 11Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM6
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 6Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM9
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 9Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM12
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 12Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM18
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 18Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM24
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 24Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM36
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 36Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM48
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 48Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM54
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 54Mbps operation.
+.El
+.It Cm mediaopt Ar opts
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media options:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width monitor -compact
+.It Cm hostap
+Select Host AP operation.
+.It Cm ibss
+Select IBSS operation.
+.\".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 a set of firmware files which are loaded when
+an interface is brought up:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact
+.It Pa /etc/firmware/1.0.4.3.arm
+.It Pa /etc/firmware/1.1.0.0.arm
+.El
+.Pp
+These firmware files are not free because Connexant refuses
+to grant distribution rights.
+In fact they have rebuffed thousands
+of attempts to start a dialogue on this issue.
+As a result, even though
+.Ox
+includes the driver, the firmware files cannot be included and
+users have to download these files on their own.
+.Pp
+A prepackaged version of the firmware, designed to be used with
+.Xr pkg_add 1 ,
+can be found at:
