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