NAME

6       rtw - RealTek 8180L 802.11b Wireless NIC driver
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The  rtw  802.11b  wireless  NIC driver is a  multi-threaded, loadable,
10       clonable, GLDv3-based  STREAMS driver supporting RealTek 8180L chipset-
11       based NIC's.
12

CONFIGURATION

14       The rtw driver performs auto-negotiation to determine the data rate and
15       mode. Supported 802.11b data rates are 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbits/sec.  The
16       default is 11.

18
19       The  rtw  driver  supports  only BSS  networks  (also  known as "ap" or
20       "infrastructure" networks) and "open"(or "open-system") or "shared sys‐
21       tem" authentication.
