DESCRIPTION
The iwp 802.11b/g wireless NIC driver is a multi-threaded, loadable,
clonable, GLDv3-based STREAMS driver which supports the Intel WiFi Link
6000 series chipset-based NICs.
Configuration
The iwp 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. Sup‐
ported 802.11g data rates are 1, 2, 5.5, 11, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48
and 54 Mbits/sec.
The iwp driver only supports BSS networks, (also known as ap or infra‐
structure networks), open(or open-system) , or shared system authenti‐
cation.
