FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual
WI (4)
NAME
wi
— Lucent Hermes, and Intersil PRISM IEEE 802.11 driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device wi
device wlan
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in
loader.conf
(5):
if_wi_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The
wi
driver provides support for 802.11b wireless network adapters based around the Lucent Hermes,
Intersil PRISM-II, Intersil PRISM-2.5, and Intersil Prism-3 chipsets. All chipsets provide a similar interface
to the driver. Only the Intersil chipsets support access point operation or WPA. Very old versions of
firmware are not supported at all. Older versions of the firmware that are supported may severely limit the
ability to use these cards in newer networks. Only relatively recent versions of Intersil firmware supports
WPA. See CAVEATS for details. All host/device interaction is via programmed I/O, even on those cards
that support a DMA interface.
For more information on configuring this device, see
ifconfig
(8).
wi
supports
station
,
adhoc
,
adhoc-demo
,
hostap
, and
monitor
mode operation. Only one virtual
interface may be configured at a time. For more information on configuring this device, see
ifconfig
(8).
Cards supported by the
wi
driver come in a variety of packages, though the most common are of the PCM-
CIA type. In many cases, the PCI version of a wireless card is simply a PCMCIA card bundled with a PCI
adapter. The PCI adapters come in two flavors: true PCMCIA bridges and dumb PCMCIA bridges. A true
PCMCIA bridge (such as those sold by Lucent) will attach as a real PCMCIA controller. The wireless card
will then attach to the PCMCIA bus. Wireless cards in PCMCIA slots may be inserted and ejected on the fly.
A dumb bridge, on the other hand, does not show up as a true PCMCIA bus. The wireless card will simply
appear to the host as a normal PCI device and will not require any PCMCIA support. Cards in this type of
adapter should only be removed when the machine is powered down.

driver:
