.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBuath\fR IEEE802.11a/b/g wireless network driver is a multi-threaded, loadable, clonable, GLDv3-based STREAMS driver supporting Atheros AR5523 USB IEEE802.11a/b/g wireless network driver.
.SS "Configuration"
.sp
.LP
The \fBuath\fR driver performs auto-negotiation to determine the data rate and mode. The driver supports only BSS networks (also known as \fBap\fR or \fBinfrastructure\fR networks) and \fBopen\fR (or \fBopen-system\fR)  or shared system authentication. For wireless security, WEP encryption, WPA-PSk, and WPA2-PSK are currently supported. You can perform configuration and administration tasks using the \fBdladm\fR(1M) utility.
