All host/device interaction is accomplished via this shared memory, - which can be accessed either via PCMCIA or I/O memory spaces. The - <code class="Nm">awi</code> driver encapsulates all IP and ARP traffic in - 802.11 frames.</p> -<p class="Pp">The driver works both in infrastructure mode and in ad-hoc - (independent BSS) mode.</p> -<p class="Pp">In infrastructure mode, it communicates with an Access Point, - which serves as a link-layer bridge between an Ethernet segment and the - wireless network. An access point also provides roaming capability, which - allows a wireless node to move between access points.</p> -<p class="Pp">In ad-hoc mode, the device communicates peer to peer. Although it - is more efficient to communicate between wireless nodes, the coverage is - limited spatially due to the lack of roaming capability.</p> -<p class="Pp">In addition to these two modes in the IEEE 802.11 specification, - the <code class="Nm">awi</code> driver also supports a variant of ad-hoc - mode outside of the spec for DS radio cards. This makes it possible to - communicate with the WaveLAN ad-hoc mode of <a class="Xr">wi(4)</a> driver. - The NWID has no effect in this mode.</p> -<p class="Pp">Another mode added to the <code class="Nm">awi</code> driver can - be used with old Melco access points with 2Mbps cards. This mode actually - uses the IEEE 802.11 ad-hoc mode with encapsulation of raw Ethernet packets - (including headers) in 802.11 frames.</p> -<p class="Pp">For more information on configuring this device, see - <a class="Xr">ifconfig(8)</a> and <a class="Xr">ifmedia(4)</a>.</p> -</section> -<section class="Sh"> -<h1 class="Sh" id="HARDWARE"><a class="permalink" href="#HARDWARE">HARDWARE</a></h1> -<p class="Pp">Cards supported by the <code class="Nm">awi</code> driver - include:</p> -<p class="Pp"></p> -<div class="Bd-indent"> -<dl class="Bl-tag Bl-compact"> - <dt>BayStack 650</dt> - <dd>1Mbps Frequency Hopping PCCARD adapter</dd> - <dt>BayStack 660</dt> - <dd>2Mbps Direct Sequence PCCARD adapter</dd> - <dt>Icom SL-200</dt> - <dd>2Mbps Direct Sequence PCCARD adapter</dd> - <dt>Melco WLI-PCM</dt> - <dd>2Mbps Direct Sequence PCCARD adapter</dd> - <dt>NEL SSMagic</dt> - <dd>2Mbps Direct Sequence PCCARD adapter</dd> - <dt>Netwave AirSurfer Plus</dt> - <dd>1Mbps Frequency Hopping PCCARD adapter</dd> - <dt>Netwave AirSurfer Pro</dt> - <dd>2Mbps Direct Sequence PCCARD adapter</dd> - <dt>Nokia C020 WLAN</dt> - <dd>2Mbps Direct Sequence PCCARD adapter</dd> - <dt>Farallon SkyLINE</dt> - <dd>2Mbps Direct Sequence PCCARD adapter</dd> - <dt>Zoom Air Model 4000</dt> - <dd style="width: auto;"> </dd> -</dl> -</div> -<p class="Pp">The original Xircom Netwave AirSurfer is supported by the - <a class="Xr">cnw(4)</a> driver, and the PRISM-II cards are supported by the - <a class="Xr">wi(4)</a> driver.</p> -</section> -<section class="Sh"> -<h1 class="Sh" id="MEDIA_SELECTION"><a class="permalink" href="#MEDIA_SELECTION">MEDIA - SELECTION</a></h1> -<p class="Pp">In addition to default - <a class="permalink" href="#Auto"><i class="Em" id="Auto">Auto</i></a> media - type, the DS cards support - <a class="permalink" href="#DS1"><i class="Em" id="DS1">DS1</i></a> and - <a class="permalink" href="#DS2"><i class="Em" id="DS2">DS2</i></a> media - types, while the FH cards support the - <a class="permalink" href="#FH1"><i class="Em" id="FH1">FH1</i></a> media - type.
