RAY(4) OpenBSD Programmer's Manual RAY(4)NAMEray - Raytheon Raylink/WebGear Aviator IEEE 802.11FH wireless network
device
SYNOPSIS
ray* at pcmcia?
option RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_DEFAULT=RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_USA
DESCRIPTION
The ray device driver supports the Raytheon Raylink and Aviator 2.4/PRO
802.11 Frequency Hopping 2Mbps wireless PCMCIA cards.
The device uses IEEE 802.11 standard Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum
signaling and operates in the ranges of 2.400 to 2.4835 Gigahertz. This
frequency range is further restricted by country according to that
country's regulations. Currently the ray driver defaults to using the
ranges appropriate for the USA. To change this setting, define the
kernel option RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_DEFAULT to one of the following
values:
RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_USA
RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_EUROPE
RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_JAPAN
RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_KOREA
RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_SPAIN
RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_FRANCE
RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_ISRAEL
RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_AUSTRALIA
These are the modes the ray driver can operate in:
BSS mode Also known as infrastructure mode, this is used when
associating with an access point, through which all
traffic passes. This mode is the default.
IBSS mode Also known as IEEE ad-hoc mode or peer-to-peer mode. This
is the standardized method of operating without an access
point. Stations associate with a service set. However,
actual connections between stations are peer-to-peer.
The ray driver can be configured at runtime with ifconfig(8) or on boot
with hostname.if(5).
HARDWARE
Cards supported by the ray driver include:
Raytheon Raylink WLAN
WebGear Aviator 2.4
WebGear Aviator PRO
EXAMPLES
The following hostname.if(5) example configures ray0 to join whatever
network is available on boot, channel 11, obtaining an IP address using
DHCP:
dhcp NONE NONE NONE chan 11
Return ray0 to its default settings:
# ifconfig ray0 -bssid -chan media autoselect nwid ""
Join an existing BSS network, ``my_net'':
# ifconfig ray0 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net
DIAGNOSTICS
ray0: card failed self test: status x Indicates the card has failed its
initial startup tests.

The ray device driver first appeared in NetBSD 1.5. OpenBSD support was
added in OpenBSD 2.7.
AUTHORS
The ray driver was written by Christian E. Hopps <chopps@netbsd.org> and
ported to OpenBSD by Michael Shalayeff <mickey@openbsd.org>.
BUGS
Currently the infrastructure mode is untested, and authentication using
WEP is unimplemented.
Firmware version 4 does not interop with version 5 or higher.
