NAME
bwi - Broadcom BCM43xx IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network driverSYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:device bwi device wlan device wlan_amrr device firmware
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf5:
if_bwi_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The driver provides support for Broadcom BCM43xx based PCI/CardBus network adapters.It supports station and monitor mode operation. Only one virtual interface may be configured at any time. For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).
This driver requires firmware to be loaded before it will work. The ports/net/bwi-firmware-kmod port needs to be installed before ifconfig(8) will work.
HARDWARE
The driver supports Broadcom BCM43xx based wireless devices, including:- Card Chip Bus Standard

EXAMPLES
Join an existing BSS network (i.e., connect to an access point):ifconfig wlan create wlandev bwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 \ netmask 0xffffff00
Join a specific BSS network with network name ``my_net ''
"ifconfig wlan create wlandev bwi0 ssid my_net up"
Join a specific BSS network with 64-bit WEP encryption:
ifconfig wlan create wlandev bwi0 ssid my_net \ wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890 weptxkey 1 up
