SYNOPSIS

To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

device wpi device wpifw device pci device wlan device wlan_amrr device firmware

Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf5:

if_wpi_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

The driver provides support for the Intel 3945ABG Wireless network adapter. supports station adhoc and monitor mode operation. Only one virtual interface may be configured at any time. For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).

EXAMPLES

Join an existing BSS network (i.e., connect to an access point):

ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wpi0 inet 192.168.0.20 \
    netmask 0xffffff00

Join a specific BSS network with network name ``my_net ''

"ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wpi0 ssid my_net up"

Join a specific BSS network with 64-bit WEP encryption:

ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wpi0 ssid my_net \
        wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890 weptxkey 1 up

Join a specific BSS network with 128-bit WEP encryption:

ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wpi0 wlanmode adhoc ssid my_net \
    wepmode on wepkey 0x01020304050607080910111213 weptxkey 1
