Remove the awi(4) manual page from the sys/ hierarchy after a repo-
copy to share/man/man4 . The file is still not connected to the
build from that directory either.

An access point also provides roaming capability -which allows wireless node to move between access points. -.Pp -In adhoc mode, it communicates peer to peer. -Though it is more efficient to communicate between wireless nodes, -the coverage is limited spatially due to lack of roaming capability. -.Pp -In addition to these two mode in IEEE 802.11 specification, the -.Nm -driver also supports a variant of adhoc mode out of spec, which makes -possible to communicate with adhoc mode of -.Xr wi 8 -driver. The NWID doesn't affect in this mode. -.Pp -For more information on configuring this device, see -.Xr ifconfig 8 -and -.Xr ifmedia 4 . -.Sh HARDWARE -Cards supported by the -.Nm -driver include: -.Pp -.Bl -tag -width BayStack_650x -offset indent -.It BayStack 650 -1Mbps Frequency Hopping PCCARD adapter -.It BayStack 660 -2Mbps Direct Sequence PCCARD adapter -.It Icom SL-200 -2Mbps Direct Sequence PCCARD adapter -.It Melco WLI-PCM -2Mbps Direct Sequence PCCARD adapter -.It NEL SSMagic -2Mbps Direct Sequence PCCARD adapter -.It Netwave AirSurfer Plus -1Mbps Frequency Hopping PCCARD adapter -.It Netwave AirSurfer Pro -2Mbps Direct Sequence PCCARD adapter -.El -.Pp -The original Xircom Netwave AirSurfer is supported by the -.Xr cnw 4 -driver. -.Sh MEDIA SELECTION -The DS cards support -.Em DS1 -and -.Em DS2 -media types, while the FH cards support -.Em FH1 -media type. For each media type, -.Em adhoc -mediaopt can be used to indicate the driver to operate in adhoc mode. -Also, -.Em adhoc,flag0 -mediaopt can be used for -.Xr wi 4 -compatible adhoc mode. -.Sh DIAGNOSTICS -.Bl -diag -.It "awi0: unable to allocate memory space; using i/o only" -Indicates that the driver was not able to allocate 32kb of PCMCIA bus -address space into which to map the device; the driver will use the -(slightly slower) i/o-space only access methods to read and write to -the shared memory. Since by default, NetBSD, only allocates 16kb of -address space per PCMCIA controller, this message is in some sense to -be expected and should not be a cause for alarm. -See -.Xr pcmcia 4 -for information on how to increase the memory available to the PCMCIA -controller. -.It "awi0: failed to complete selftest (%s)" -The device failed to complete its self test. -.It "awi0: synced with %s ssid %s at chanset %d" -.It "awi0: associated with %s ssid %s channel %d signal %d" -The device has successfully synchronized with the identified Access -Point and is ready to relay traffic. -.It "awi0: authentication failed (reason %d)" -.It "awi0: association failed (reason %d)" -The access point refuses the association request from the device. -.It "awi0: no recent beacons from %s; rescanning" -The device has not heard a beacon from its currently associated Access -Point recently, and is looking for a new access point. -.It "awi0: transmit timeout" -The device failed to generate an interrupt to acknowledge a -transmitted packet. -.It "awi0: failed to lock interrupt" -The system was unable to obtain the lock to access shared memory. -.It "awi0: command %d failed %x" -The device failed to complete the request from the system. -.El -.Sh BUGS -.Pp -Doesn't support WEP. -Doesn't create IBSS itself. -.Pp -.Sh SEE ALSO -.Xr arp 4 , -.Xr netintro 4 , -.Xr pcmcia 4 , -.Xr wi 4 , -.Xr cnw 4 , -.Xr ifmedia 4 , -.Xr ifconfig 8 -.Rs -.%T Am79C930 PCnet Mobile Single-Chip Wireless LAN Media Access Controller -.%O http://www.amd.com -.Re -.Sh HISTORY -The -.Nm -device driver first appeared in -.Nx 1.5 . -.Sh AUTHOR -The initial version of the -.Nm -driver was written by -.An Bill Sommerfeld Aq sommerfeld@netbsd.org . -Then the -.Nm -driver module completely rewritten to support cards with DS phy and -to support adhoc mode by -.An Atsushi Onoe Aq onoe@netbsd.org . |
