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. -.El -.Sh SEE ALSO -.Xr arp 4 , -.Xr netintro 4 , -.Xr ifconfig 8 , -.Xr wicontrol 8 -.Rs -.%T HCF Light programming specification -.%O http://www.wavelan.com -.Re -.Sh HISTORY -The -.Nm -device driver first appeared in -.Fx 3.0 . -.Sh AUTHORS -The -.Nm -driver was written by -.An Bill Paul Aq wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu . |
