36 To compile this driver into the kernel,
37 place the following lines in your
38 kernel configuration file:
39 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
44 .Cd "device wlan_amrr"
48 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
49 module at boot time, place the following line in
51 .Bd -literal -offset indent
57 driver provides support for the
59 3945ABG Wireless network adapter
67 Only one virtual interface may be configured at any time.
68 For more information on configuring this device, see
71 This driver requires the firmware built with the
75 .Bl -tag -width ".Pa /usr/share/doc/legal/intel_wpi/LICENSE" -compact
76 .It Pa /usr/share/doc/legal/intel_wpi/LICENSE
81 Join an existing BSS network (i.e., connect to an access point):

87 Join a specific BSS network with network name
90 .Dl "ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wpi0 ssid my_net up"
92 Join a specific BSS network with 64-bit WEP encryption:
