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

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.
