Transmit -speed is fixed at 1Mbps. -.Pp -The driver currently only works in infrastructure mode, communicating -with an Access Point which serves as a link-layer bridge between an -ethernet and the wireless network. -.Pp -This card seems to take between 5 and 20 seconds after it has been brought up -to synchronize with an AP. When using -.Xr dhclient 8 -to automatically configure an address on this card, it may be -advisable to delay the invocation of dhclient for about 10 seconds -after the card is brought up using -.Xr ifconfig 8 -.Pp -For more information on configuring this device, see -.Xr ifconfig 8 -.Sh DIAGNOSTICS -.Bl -diag -.It "awi0: unable to allocate memory space; using i/o only" -Indicates that the driver was not able to allocate 32kb of PCMCIA bus -address space into which to map the device; the driver will use the -(slightly slower) i/o-space only access methods to read and write to -the shared memory. This message is in some sense to be expected and -should not be a cause for alarm. -See -.Xr pcmcia 4 -for information on how to increase the memory available to the PCMCIA -controller. -.It "awi0: selftest failed (code %x)" -The device failed to pass its internal selftest. -.It "awi0: device failed to complete selftest (code %x)" -The device failed to complete its self test within 5 seconds. -.It "awi0: device timeout" -.It "awi0: timeout waiting for command completion" -The device failed to generate an interrupt to acknowledge a command. -.It "awi0: transmit timeout" -The device failed to generate an interrupt to acknowledge a -transmitted packet. -.It "awi0: large frame truncated" -The system handed the driver a packet which was too large to transmit -in one piece. -.It "awi0: device enable failed" -The system was unable to power on the card. -.It "awi0: associated with %s, SSID: %s -The device has successfully synchronized with the identified Access -Point and is ready to relay traffic. -.It "awi0: no recent beacon from %s; rescanning" -The device has not heard a beacon from its currently associated Access -Point recently, and is looking for a new access point. -.It "awi0: received deauth" -The access point the card was most recently associated with has -forgotten about us. -.El -.Sh BUGS -Doesn't support ad-hoc mode or WEP. -Round trip times seem higher than what one might expect. -.Sh SEE ALSO -.Xr ray 4 , -.Xr arp 4 , -.Xr netintro 4 , -.Xr pcmcia 4 , -.Xr ifconfig 8 , -.Xr awiconfig 8 -.Rs -.%T Am79C930 PCnet Mobile Single-Chip Wireless LAN Media Access Controller -.%O http://www.amd.com -.Re -.Sh HISTORY -The -.Nm -device driver first appeared in -.Nx 1.5 . -.Sh AUTHOR -The -.Nm -driver was written by -.An Bill Sommerfeld Aq sommerfeld@netbsd.org -and ported to -.Ox -by -.An Angelos D.
