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.
