NAME
       rtw - RealTek 8180L 802.11b Wireless NIC driver

DESCRIPTION
       The rtw 802.11b wireless NIC driver is a  multi-threaded, loadable, clonable, GLDv3-based  STREAMS driver supporting RealTek 8180L chipset-
       based NIC's.

CONFIGURATION
       The rtw driver performs auto-negotiation to determine the data rate and mode. Supported 802.11b data rates are 1, 2, 5.5 and 11	Mbits/sec.
       The default is 11.

       The rtw driver supports only BSS  networks  (also  known as "ap" or "infrastructure" networks) and "open"(or "open-system") or "shared sys-
       tem" authentication.
