NAME

6       iwi - Intel Pro. Wireless 802.11a/b/g IPW2200B/G IPW2915A/B/G Driver
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The   iwi 802.11b/g  wireless NIC driver is a multi-threaded, loadable,
10       clonable,   GLDv3-based  STREAMS  driver  supporting   the  Data   Link
11       Provider  Interface,  dlpi(7P),  on  Intel  Pro Wireless 2200BG 2915ABG
12       chipset-based wireless NIC's. Driver functions include controller  ini‐
13       tialization,  wireless  802.11b  infrastructure network connection, WEP
14       and frame transmit and receive.
15

DRIVER CONFIGURATION

17       The iwi driver performs auto-negotiation to determine the data rate and
18       mode.  Supported  802.11b   data  rates are 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbits/sec.
19       Supported 802.11g data rates are 1, 2, 5.5, 11, 6, 9, 12, 18,  24,  36,
20       48 and 54 Mbits/sec.

23       The  iwi  driver supports only BSS networks (also known as "ap" or "in‐
24       frastructure" networks) and "open"(or "open-system") or "shared system"
25       authentication. Only WEP encryption is currently supported. You perform
26       configuration and administration tasks using the dladm(1M) and wificon‐
27       fig(1M) utilities.
