.SH NAME
iwi \- Intel Pro. Wireless 802.11a/b/g IPW2200B/G IPW2915A/B/G Driver
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The  \fBiwi\fR \fI802.11b/g \fR wireless NIC driver is a multi-threaded, loadable, clonable,  GLDv3-based STREAMS driver supporting  the Data Link Provider Interface, \fBdlpi\fR(7P), on Intel Pro Wireless 2200BG 2915ABG chipset-based wireless NIC's. Driver functions include controller  initialization, wireless \fI802.11b \fR infrastructure network connection, WEP and frame transmit and receive. 
.SH DRIVER CONFIGURATION
.sp
.LP
The \fBiwi\fR driver performs auto-negotiation to determine the data rate and mode. Supported \fI802.11b \fR data rates are 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbits/sec. Supported \fI802.11g\fR data rates are 1, 2, 5.5, 11, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbits/sec. 
.sp
.LP
The \fBiwi\fR driver supports only BSS networks (also known as \fBap\fR or \fBinfrastructure\fR networks) and \fBopen\fR (or \fBopen-system\fR) or \fBshared system\fR authentication. Only WEP encryption is currently supported. You perform configuration and administration tasks using the \fBdladm\fR(1M) utility.
