   7 .SH NAME
   8 pcwl \- Lucent/PrismII 802.11b wireless NIC driver
   9 .SH DESCRIPTION
  10 .sp
  11 .LP
  12 The  \fBpcwl\fR  \fI802.11b\fR wireless NIC driver is a multi- threaded,
  13 loadable, clonable, GLDv3-based STREAMS driver. It supports the pccard and
  14 PCI/MiniPCI cards with the Lucent and PrismII \fI802.11b\fR chipsets on x86 and
  15 SPARC.
  16 .SH DRIVER CONFIGURATION
  17 .sp
  18 .LP
  19 The \fBpcwl\fR driver supports \fI802.11b\fR data rates of 1, 2, 5.5 and 11
  20 (Mbits/sec). The default is 11.
  21 .sp
  22 .LP
  23 The \fBpcwl\fR driver supports BSS networks (also known as "ap" or
  24 "infrastructure" networks) and IBSS (or "ad-hoc") networks. For authentication
  25 type, the \fBpcwl\fR driver supports the "open" (or "open-system") mode and the
  26 "shared-key" mode. For encryption type, only WEP is currently supported. You
  27 perform configuration and administration tasks using the \fBdladm\fR(1M) and
  28 \fBwificonfig\fR(1M) utilities.
