This frequency range is further restricted by country according to that country's regulations. Currently the .Nm driver defaults to using the ranges appropriate for the USA. To change this setting, define the kernel option .Dv RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_DEFAULT to one of the following values: .Bd -literal -offset indent RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_USA RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_EUROPE RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_JAPAN RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_KOREA RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_SPAIN RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_FRANCE RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_ISRAEL RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_AUSTRALIA .Ed .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. .El .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 FH1 Set legacy 802.11 FH 1Mbps operation. .It Cm FH2 Set legacy 802.11 FH 2Mbps operation. .El .It Cm mediaopt Ar opts The .Nm driver supports the following media options: .Pp .Bl -tag -width monitor -compact .It Cm ibss Select IBSS operation. .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 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 Fl nwid Set the network ID to the empty string to allow the interface to connect to any available access point. .El .Sh HARDWARE Cards supported by the .Nm driver include: .Pp .Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact .It Raytheon Raylink WLAN .It WebGear Aviator 2.4 .It WebGear Aviator PRO .El .Sh EXAMPLES The following .Xr hostname.if 5 example configures ray0 to join whatever network is available on boot, channel 11, obtaining an IP address using DHCP: .Bd -literal -offset indent dhcp NONE NONE NONE chan 11 .Ed .Pp Return ray0 to its default settings: .Bd -literal -offset indent # ifconfig ray0 -bssid -chan media autoselect nwid "" .Ed .Pp Join an existing BSS network, .Dq my_net : .Bd -literal -offset indent # ifconfig ray0 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net .Ed .Sh DIAGNOSTICS .Bl -diag .It "ray0: card failed self test: status x" Indicates the card has failed its initial startup tests. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr arp 4 , .Xr ifmedia 4 , .Xr intro 4 , .Xr netintro 4 , .Xr pcmcia 4 , .Xr hostname.if 5 , .Xr ifconfig 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm device driver first appeared in .Nx 1.5 . .Ox support was added in .Ox 2.7 . .Sh AUTHORS .An -nosplit The .Nm driver was written by .An Christian E. Hopps Aq chopps@netbsd.org and ported to .Ox by .An Michael Shalayeff Aq mickey@openbsd.org . .Sh BUGS Currently the infrastructure mode is untested, and authentication using WEP is unimplemented. .Pp Firmware version 4 does not interop with version 5 or higher.
