IWICTL(8)               NetBSD System Manager's Manual               IWICTL(8)


NAME

     iwictl -- configure Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG/2915ABG network adapters


SYNOPSIS

     iwictl [-i] iface
     iwictl [-i] iface -d directory [-m bss|ibss]
     iwictl [-i] iface -k
     iwictl [-i] iface -r


DESCRIPTION

     The iwictl utility controls the operation of Intel(R) PRO/Wireless
     2200BG/2915ABG networking devices via the iwi(4) driver.

     You should not use this program to configure IEEE 802.11 parameters.  Use
     ifconfig(8) instead.


OPTIONS

     The options are as follows:

     -i iface
             Displays adapter's internal statistics.

     -i iface -d directory [-m bss|ibss]
             Download firmware binary image to the adapter.  The image is read
             from the directory directory.  By default, the firmware binary
             image for BSS (aka infrastructure mode) mode is downloaded unless
             the -m flag is given.  Firmware binary images can be found in the
             pkgsrc/sysutils/iwi-firmware package.

     -i iface -k
             Kill the firmware and reset the adapter.

     -i iface -r
             Displays the radio transmitter state (on or off).
