It supports contention-free traffic (with an - 802.11 Point Coordinator), 64/128-bit WEP encryption, and 802.11 - power-saving. The ADM8211 integrates an RF3000 baseband processor (BBP) by - RF Microdevices.</p> -<p class="Pp">In a typical application, the ADM8211 is coupled with an RF - front-end by RFMD and a Silicon Laboratories Si4126 RF/IF synthesizer.</p> -<p class="Pp">With the ADM8211, the division of labor between the host and NIC - is different than with firmware-based NICs such as <a class="Xr">an(4)</a>, - <a class="Xr">awi(4)</a>, and <a class="Xr">wi(4)</a>. The ADM8211 is still - responsible for real-time 802.11 functions such as sending ACK/RTS/CTS/ATIM - frames, sending beacons, and answering CF polls from the access point, but - the host takes responsibility for providing 802.11 functions such as - scanning, association, and authentication. The host is also responsible for - programming both the BBP and the RF/IF synthesizer.</p> -<p class="Pp"><code class="Nm">atw</code> contains incomplete support for the - ADM8211's WEP encryption/decryption engine. <code class="Nm">atw</code> does - not yet support hardware WEP decryption, however, it will use the ADM8211's - crypto engine to encrypt transmitted frames. Documentation from ADMtek - claims that, in addition to the 4 128-bit shared WEP keys, the ADM8211 will - store WEP key pairs for up to 20 peers. The documentation provides no - details, hence <code class="Nm">atw</code> does not support the 20 - key-pairs.</p> -<p class="Pp">The ADM8211 operates in 802.11 infrastructure mode (with an access - point) and in 802.11 ad hoc mode (without an access point) at 1, 2, 5.5, and - 11Mbps. ADMtek says that the ADM8211 cannot operate as an access point.</p> -<p class="Pp">The operating mode is selected using the - <a class="Xr">ifconfig(8)</a> utility.
