.SH NAME
rtw \- RealTek 8180L 802.11b Wireless NIC driver
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBrtw\fR \fI802.11b\fR wireless NIC driver is a  multi-threaded, loadable,
clonable, GLDv3-based  STREAMS driver supporting RealTek 8180L chipset-based
NIC's.
.SH CONFIGURATION
.sp
.LP
The \fBrtw\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. The
default is 11.
.sp
.LP
The \fBrtw\fR driver supports only BSS  networks  (also  known as "ap" or
"infrastructure" networks) and "open"(or "open-system") or "shared system"
authentication.
