NAME

6       iwh - Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100/5300 Driver
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The  iwh 802.11a/g/n wireless NIC driver is a multi-threaded, loadable,
10       clonable, GLDv3-based STREAMS driver supporting the Intel Shirley  Peak
11       WiFi   chipset-based  NIC's.  Driver functions  include controller ini‐
12       tialization, wireless 802.11 infrastructure network connection, WEP and
13       frame transmit and receive.
14

CONFIGURATION

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