* mdoc(7) police: minor nits.ru2002-08-131-2/+5
| | | | Approved by: imp
* Add a bunch more cards that are known to work.imp2002-07-301-4/+31
| | | | | | Add a warning about the Symbol LA-4100 series of cards. You gotta load special firmware, and the wi driver in the tree doesn't support that yet.
* Add US Robotics Wireless Card 2410imp2002-06-141-1/+5
| | | | | Also add a snarky note about telling me about changes to this file so I can keep OpenBSD and FreeBSD's copy of this man page more or less in sync.
* mdoc(7) police:ru2002-05-301-88/+88
| | | | | | | Do not use raw roff requests. Replace tbl(1)'s use with the mdoc(7)'s -column list. Removed cross references to non-existing manpages. Minor markup nits.
* Try to de-confuse ad-hoc, demo ad-hoc and ibss:imp2002-05-041-11/+23
| | | | | | | | | o Don't ever refer to ad-hoc mode in the raw. Instead, refer to it as demo ad-hoc mode or lucent legacy demo ad-hoc or some variation on this theme. o Talk about point-to-point modes rather than ad-hoc modes. Use ibss where appropriate. o Fix type IBBS -> IBSS
* Minor tweaks:imp2002-05-031-8/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | o go ahead and document ibss-master and ibss modes, since there are patches in the pipeline to support them. o Note that they aren't implemented yet. o Note that different regulatory domains have different default channels. o Note that Lucent cards prior to firmware 6.0.4 do not support ibss mode, and only support the older demo ad-hoc mode. o Note that PRISM2 chipsets do not support WDS mode of operation (the mysterious -p 2 option).
* Remove Apple Airport card, since it seems to be mac-only.imp2002-05-031-10/+11
| | | | | | | | | Change date to today. Add socket low power WLAN CF card Add SMC 2602W which I use all the time Comment out the create-ibss example. FreeBSD doesn't yet have that media option. Also change it to master-ibss since that's what OpenBSD really uses (and that is a change in their man page too)
* Additional patches from OpenBSD. Mostly grammar fixes and the like,imp2002-05-031-5/+9
| | | | | | | | however I'm adding the Dlink DWL520 as supported from OpenBSD. Also adding Dlink DWL650 since I have one in my hot little hands and it works great. # I suspect that OpenBSD needs this too :-)
* Bring the wi man page into the 21st centry. This man page is basedimp2002-05-021-26/+218
| | | | | | | | | heavily on OpenBSD's wi man page, with OpenBSDisms replaced by FreeBSDisms. I also added a note about where the man page came from. I hope that I've not broken anything that ru cleaned up. We now run this through tbl, but that appears to be automatic. Obtained From: OpenBSD
* Removed whitespace at end-of-line; no content changes. I simply didschweikh2001-07-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | cd src/share; find man[1-9] -type f|xargs perl -pi -e 's/[ \t]+$//' BTW, what editors are the culprits? I'm using vim and it shows me whitespace at EOL in troff files with a thick blue block... Reviewed by: Silence from cvs diff -b MFC after: 7 days

* Add device driver support for the Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11 PCMCIAwpaul1999-05-051-0/+102
adapter (and some workalikes). Also add man pages and a wicontrol utility to manipulate some of the card parameters. This driver was written using information gleaned from the Lucent HCF Light library, though it does not use any of the HCF Light code itself, mainly because it's contaminated by the GPL (but also because it's pretty gross). The HCF Light lacks certain featurs from the full (but proprietary) HCF library, including 802.11 frame encapsulation support, however it has just enough register information about the Hermes chip to allow someone with enough spare time and energy to implement a proper driver. (I would have prefered getting my hands on the Hermes manual, but that's proprietary too. For those who are wondering, the Linux driver uses the proprietary HCF library, but it's provided in object code form only.) Note that I do not have access to a WavePOINT access point, so I have only been able to test ad-hoc mode. The wicontrol utility can turn on BSS mode, but I don't know for certain that the NIC will associate with an access point correctly. Testers are encouraged to send their results to me so that I can find out if I screwed up or not.
