NAME
       iwi - Intel Pro. Wireless 802.11a/b/g IPW2200B/G IPW2915A/B/G Driver

DESCRIPTION
       The   iwi 802.11b/g  wireless NIC driver is a multi-threaded, loadable,
       clonable,   GLDv3-based	STREAMS	 driver	 supporting   the  Data	  Link
       Provider	 Interface,  dlpi(7P),	on  Intel  Pro Wireless 2200BG 2915ABG
       chipset-based wireless NIC's. Driver functions include controller  ini‐
       tialization,  wireless  802.11b	infrastructure network connection, WEP
       and frame transmit and receive.

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

       The  iwi	 driver supports only BSS networks (also known as "ap" or "in‐
       frastructure" networks) and "open"(or "open-system") or "shared system"
       authentication. Only WEP encryption is currently supported. You perform
       configuration and administration tasks using the dladm(1M) and wificon‐
       fig(1M) utilities.
