DESCRIPTION
       wlags49 is the low-level Card Services / PCI driver for the Wireless PC
       Card,  Wireless	Integrated  Card,  Wireless  Embedded  Card  and other
       wireless adapters based on the Agere Systems Hermes-II, and Hermes-II.5
       wireless	 MAC. When this driver is attached to a card, it allocates the
       next available ethernet device (eth0..eth#). This device name  will  be
       passed	on   to	 cardmgr(8),  or  the  PCI  subsystem,	for  the  card
       configuration, and reported in the kernel log file with	the  I/O  base
       address and MAC address used by the card.

FEATURES

	- Access Point and peer-to-peer communication
	- Card power management
	-  Support  for	 Hermes-II  &  Hermes-II.5 based PCMCIA, Mini PCI, and
       CardBus cards
	- Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
	- WPA-PSK support (EXPERIMENTAL)
	- Driver utility interface (UIL)
	- Wireless Extensions
	- Software AP mode

       DesiredSSID=s
	      Same as OwnSSID.

       DownloadFirmware=n
	      This  release  of	 the  driver introduces the ability to perform
	      downloads of the STA/AP firmware. In fact, this is required  for
	      Hermes-II	 based	cards.	This  parameter tells the driver which
	      version of the firmware to download to the card.
		  0 - No download performed (Hermes-I only)

		  Default: 0

       Encryption
	      ???????????????

       ExcludeUnencrypted=s
	      Controls how the stations must communicate with the AP.
		  Y - Stations must enable encryption and provide
		       the proper encryption key to communicate
		       with the AP.
		  N - Stations do not need to enable encryption
		       to communicate with the AP.
		  Default: N

       IntraBSSRelay=s
	      Controls the automatic  relay  of	 received  messages  that  are
	      destined for other stations in the BSS.
		  Y - Messages are relayed to the appropriate
		       station(s).
		  N - Messages are passed up to the host.
		  Default: Y

       IrqList=i,j,...
	      Specifies	 the set of interrupts (up to 4) that may be allocated
	      by this driver. This overrides the values	 set  in  the  IrqMask
	      parameter. NOTE: This parameter is for PCMCIA only.

       IrqMask=n
	      Specifies	 a  mask  of valid interrupts that may be allocated by
	      this driver.  If	IrqList	 is  also  specified,  the  values  in
	      IrqList  are  used  instead.  NOTE: This parameter is for PCMCIA
	      only.
		  Default: 0xdeb8 (IRQ 3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12,14,15)

       Key1=s Specifies one of 4 possible keys for the Data  encryption.   One
	      of  these keys, identified by TxKey, is used for the enciphering
	      of Data that is transmitted by this station.  All keys specified
	      can  be used for the deciphering of Data that is received.   The
	      key value can be an ASCII	 character  string  or	a  hexadecimal
	      value.   The  length  of the key value can be 5 characters or 10
	      hexadecimal digits for the standard encryption (Silver  or  Gold
	      card),  or  13  characters  or  26  hexadecimal  digits  for the
	      encryption with  extended	 keys  (Gold  card  only).   The  keys
	      defined in the station must match the keys defined in the access
	      points; both on value and number (1 through 4).	In 2.0	series
	      Linux  kernel  modules,  values  that  begin  with  a number are
	      considered integers. In this case a hexadecimal value string  or
	      a	 character  string  starting  with  a  number, will need to be
	      surrounded by escaped double quotes  (ie.	 Key1=\"0x1122334455\"
	      Key2=\"12xyz\").
		  5 or 13, printable character string, or
		  10 or 26 hex digits if preceded by "0x".
		  If this parameter is omitted, the default of the MAC is used
	      ( = 0-length).

       Key2=s Same as Key1.

       Key3=s Same as Key1.

       Key4=s Same as Key1.

       LoadBalancing=s
	      Control for the Load Balancing algorithm for both STAs and  APs.
	      The  AP  includes a load balancing element in the Probe Response
	      and Beacon frames.  The STA uses this info to select an AP,  not
	      only based on comms quality, but also on the load of that AP.
		  Default: Y

       MaxDataLength
	      ???????????????

       MaxSleepDuration=n
	      Set the maximum Power Management sleep duration in milliseconds.

	      Control  for  the	 distribution  of  medium   parameters,	  like
	      communication    thresholds,   microwave	 robustness,   RTS/CTS
	      thresholds, by APs. The associated stations  replace  their  own
	      values with the received values.
		  Default=Y

       MicroWaveRobustness=s
	      Enable or disable Microwave Oven Robustness.
		  N - Disable
		  Y - Enable
		  Default: N

       MulticastPMBuffering=s
	      Controls	buffering  of  multicast  MAC  frames for transmission
	      after DTIM. If no, multicast MAC frames are directly  placed  in
	      the output queue.
		  Default: Y

       MulticastRate=n
	      Sets the data rate for multicast message transmission.
		  1 - Fixed 1Mb/s
		  2 - Fixed 2Mb/s
		  3 - Fixed 5.5Mb/s
		  4 - Fixed 11Mb/s
		  Default: 2

	      For  Hermes-II.5, an INTEGER CONVERTED bit mask representing the
	      rate to multicast, where the rates supported are as follows:

	      Bit  : 15|14|13|12|11|10|09|08|07|06|05|04|03|02|01|00
	      ------------------------------------------------------

       MulticastReceive=s
	      Enable or disable receiving of all multicast packets  when  Card
	      Power Management is enabled. When enabled, the station will wake
	      up frequently to receive the multicast frames. This causes  less
	      optimal power savings.
		  N - Disable
		  Y - Enable
		  Default: Y

       NetworkAddress=n,n,n,n,n,n
	      Sets  the adapter hardware ethernet address (MAC address) to the
	      value specified. Note that this is to be used to specify a Local
	      MAC  address.  Do	 not  specify  this  parameter	if  the card´s
	      universal	 address  is  to  be  used.   Valid  values  are   six
	      hexadecimal digit-pairs (prefixed with 0x).

       OwnChannel=n
	      Sets  the channel the Ad-Hoc or IBSS mode will use.  The default
	      channel for Ad-Hoc mode is determined by the Wireless  PC	 Card.
	      The  default  channel for IBSS is set to 10 by the driver.  This
	      value has no effect when the adapter  is	used  with  an	Access
	      Point   (BSS  network)  since  the  Access  Point	 automatically
	      determines the channel.  Valid values are 0 to 14.  However  the
	      channels allowed in your region are subject to local regulations
	      and are limited at manufacturing time of the Wireless  PC	 Card.
	      When  the	 provided  value  is  not  allowed,  the value remains
	      unchanged.
		  0 - Use default channel
		  Default: 0

       OwnDTIMPeriod=n
	      The number  of  beacon  intervals	 between  successive  Delivery
	      Traffic Identification Maps (DTIMs).

	      of 32 characters.
		  Default: Linux

       OwnSSID=s
	      Sets the card network name to the specified string  value.  This
	      parameter	 accepts a maximum of 32 characters. Whitespace in the
	      network name will need to	 be  escaped  with  a  backslash  (ie.
	      OwnSSID=My\ Network).
		  Default: ANY

       pc_debug=n
	      Selects  the  PCMCIA  debugging  level.  This  parameter is only
	      available if the module is compiled with	debugging  enabled.  A
	      non-zero	value  enables	debugging.  Higher  values  yield more
	      information, i.e. for any value all lower values are implied.
		  8 - DBG_DS_ON
		  7 - DBG_RX_ON | DBG_TX_ON
		  6 - DBG_PARAM_ON
		  5 - DBG_TRACE_ON

SECURITY
       On a multi-user system only the system administrator  needs  access  to
       the  WEP	 encryption  keys.  In	this  case, consider removing the read
       permission for normal users of the PCMCIA config.opts file, the	system
       log file, and any Agere proprietary iwconfig-eth<n> scripts.
