-.Sh NAME

-Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11 PCMCIA driver
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Cd "device wi"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Nm
-driver provides support for WaveLAN/IEEE PCCARD adapters (also known
-as WaveLAN II cards). Note that while Lucent sells both ISA and PCMCIA
-WaveLAN/IEEE devices, the ISA product is actually a PCMCIA card in an
-ISA to PCMCIA bridge adapter.
-Consequently, the
-.Nm
-driver is required for both the ISA and PCMCIA NICs.
-Both the original
-2Mbps WaveLAN/IEEE cards and the newer 6Mbps WaveLAN/IEEE Turbo
-adapters are supported.
-.Pp
-The core of the WaveLAN/IEEE is the Lucent Hermes controller.
-All
-host/device interaction is via programmed I/O with the Hermes.
-The
-Hermes supports 802.11 and 802.3 frames, power management, BSS, WDS
-and ad-hoc operation modes.
-The
-.Nm
-driver encapsulates all IP and ARP traffic as 802.11 frames, however
-it can receive either 802.11 or 802.3 frames.
-Transmit speed is
-selectable between 1Mbps fixed, 2Mbps fixed or 2Mbps with auto fallback.
-For WaveLAN/IEEE Turbo adapters, speeds up to 6Mbps are available.
-.Pp
-By default, the
-.Nm
-driver configures the WaveLAN card for ad-hoc operation.
-In this mode,
-stations can communicate among each other without the aid of an access
-point.
-To join a service set, the driver must be set for BSS mode using
-the
-.Xr wicontrol 8
-utility.
-.Pp
-For more information on configuring this device, see
-.Xr ifconfig 8
-.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
-.Bl -diag
-.It "wi%d: init failed"
-The WaveLAN failed to come ready after an initialization command was
-issued.
-.It "wi%d: failed to allocate %d bytes on NIC"
-The driver was unable to allocate memory for transmit frames in the
-NIC's on-board RAM.
-.It "wi%d: device timeout"
-The WaveLAN failed to generate an interrupt to acknowledge a transmit
-command.
