.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I wlags49
|
|
is the low-level Card Services / PCI driver for the
|
|
.B Wireless PC Card, Wireless Integrated Card, Wireless Embedded Card
|
|
and other wireless adapters based on the Agere Systems Hermes-II, and Hermes-II.5 wireless MAC. When this driver is attached to a card, it
|
|
allocates the next available ethernet device (eth0..eth#). This
|
|
device name will be passed on to
|
|
.IR cardmgr (8),
|
|
or the PCI subsystem, for the card configuration, and reported in the kernel log file
|
|
with the I/O base address and MAC address used by the card.
|
|

Controls the automatic relay of received messages that are destined for other
|
|
stations in the BSS.
|

Default: Y
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B IrqList=i,j,...
|
|
Specifies the set of interrupts (up to 4) that may be allocated by
|
|
this driver. This overrides the values set in the

|
.B IrqMask
|
|
parameter. NOTE: This parameter is for PCMCIA only.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B IrqMask=n
|

|
|
is also specified, the values in
|
|
.B IrqList
|
|
are used instead. NOTE: This parameter is for PCMCIA only.

.B Key1=s
|
|
Specifies one of 4 possible keys for the Data encryption.
|
|
One of these keys, identified by TxKey,
|
|
is used for the enciphering of Data that is transmitted by this station.
|
|
All keys specified can be used for the deciphering of Data that is received.
|
|
.BR
|
|
The key value can be an ASCII character string or a hexadecimal value.
|

The keys defined in the station must match the keys defined in the access
|
|
points; both on value and number (1 through 4).
|
|
.BR
|
|
In 2.0 series Linux kernel modules, values that begin with a number are
|
|
considered integers. In this case a hexadecimal value string or a character
|
|
string starting with a number, will need to be surrounded by escaped
|
|
double quotes (ie. Key1=\\"0x1122334455\\" Key2=\\"12xyz\\").

Default: 4 (Translates to 0x0004 = 5.5 Mb/sec)
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B MulticastReceive=s
|
|
Enable or disable receiving of all multicast packets when Card Power Management
|
|
is enabled. When enabled, the station will wake up frequently
|
|
to receive the multicast frames. This causes less optimal power savings.

The default channel for IBSS is set to 10 by the driver.
|
|
This value has no effect when the adapter is used with an Access Point
|
|
(BSS network) since the Access Point automatically determines the channel.
|
|
Valid values are 0 to 14. However the channels allowed in
|
|
your region are subject to local regulations and are limited at
|
|
manufacturing time of the Wireless PC Card. When the provided value is

.SH SECURITY
|
|
On a multi-user system only the system administrator needs access to the WEP
|
|
encryption keys. In this case, consider removing the read permission for
|
|
normal users of the PCMCIA config.opts file, the system log file, and any
|
|
Agere proprietary iwconfig-eth<n> scripts.
