+.SH NAME
+iwi \- Intel Pro. Wireless 802.11a/b/g IPW2200B/G IPW2915A/B/G Driver
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBiwi\fR \fI802.11b/g \fR wireless NIC driver is a multi-threaded,
+loadable, clonable, GLDv3-based STREAMS driver supporting the Data Link
+Provider Interface, \fBdlpi\fR(7P), on Intel Pro Wireless 2200BG 2915ABG
+chipset-based wireless NIC's. Driver functions include controller
+initialization, wireless \fI802.11b \fR infrastructure network connection, WEP
+and frame transmit and receive.
+.SH DRIVER CONFIGURATION
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBiwi\fR driver performs auto-negotiation to determine the data rate and
+mode. Supported \fI802.11b \fR data rates are 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbits/sec.
+Supported \fI802.11g\fR data rates are 1, 2, 5.5, 11, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48
+and 54 Mbits/sec.
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBiwi\fR driver supports only BSS networks (also known as "ap" or
+"infrastructure" networks) and "open"(or "open-system") or "shared system"
+authentication. Only WEP encryption is currently supported. You perform
+configuration and administration tasks using the \fBdladm\fR(1M) and
+\fBwificonfig\fR(1M) utilities.
