46 driver provides support for Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG and 2915ABG MiniPCI
51 driver configures the adapter for BSS operation (aka infrastructure mode).
52 This mode requires the use of an access point.
54 In addition IBSS operation (aka adhoc mode) is also supported. This mode requires
55 special ibss firmware. See
57 for more details on how to load firmware.
59 For more (general) information on configuring this device, see
67 It's worth noting that in BSS mode if you haven't specified an
68 ssid, the driver will auto-assign an ssid, joining the best
