— Intel
PRO/Wireless 2200BG/2915ABG IEEE 802.11 driver
iwi* at pci? dev ? function ?
The iwi
driver provides support for
Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG and 2915ABG MiniPCI network adapters.
By default, the iwi
driver configures the
adapter for BSS operation (aka infrastructure mode). This mode requires the
use of an access point.
For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).
The Intel firmware requires acceptance of the End User License
Agreement. The full license text can be found in
/libdata/firmware/if_iwi/LICENSE.ipw2200-fw. The
license is agreed to by setting the sysctl variable
hw.iwi.accept_eula
to 1.

Join a specific BSS network with network name
“my_net
”:
ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20
netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net
Join a specific BSS network with 64 bits WEP encryption:
ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net \ nwkey 0x1234567890
Join a specific BSS network with 128bits WEP encryption:
ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net \ nwkey 0x01020304050607080910111213
