BWI(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    BWI(4)

NAME

     bwi -- Broadcom BCM43xx IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network driver

SYNOPSIS

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

	   device bwi
	   device wlan
	   device wlan_amrr
	   device firmware

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   if_bwi_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The bwi driver provides support for Broadcom BCM43xx based PCI/CardBus network adapters.

     It supports station and monitor mode operation.  Only one virtual interface may be configured at any time.  For more information on configur-
     ing this device, see ifconfig(8).

     This driver requires firmware to be loaded before it will work.  The ports/net/bwi-firmware-kmod port needs to be installed before
     ifconfig(8) will work.

HARDWARE

     The bwi driver supports Broadcom BCM43xx based wireless devices, including:

	   Card 		    Chip       Bus	   Standard
	   Apple Airport Extreme    BCM4306    PCI	   b/g
	   Apple Airport Extreme    BCM4318    PCI	   b/g
	   ASUS WL-138g 	    BCM4318    PCI	   b/g
	   Buffalo WLI-CB-G54S	    BCM4318    CardBus	   b/g
	   Buffalo WLI-PCI-G54S     BCM4306    PCI	   b/g
	   Compaq R4035 onboard     BCM4306    PCI	   b/g
	   Dell Wireless 1470	    BCM4318    Mini PCI    b/g
	   Dell Truemobile 1400     BCM4309    Mini PCI    b/g
	   HP nx6125		    BCM4319    PCI	   b/g
	   Linksys WPC54G Ver 3     BCM4318    CardBus	   b/g
	   Linksys WPC54GS Ver 2    BCM4318    CardBus	   b/g
	   TRENDnet TEW-401PCplus   BCM4306    CardBus	   b/g
	   US Robotics 5411	    BCM4318    CardBus	   b/g

EXAMPLES

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

	   ifconfig wlan create wlandev bwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 
	       netmask 0xffffff00

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

	   ifconfig wlan create wlandev bwi0 ssid my_net up

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

	   ifconfig wlan create wlandev bwi0 ssid my_net 
		   wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890 weptxkey 1 up
