NAME

     ipwctl -- configure Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 network adapter


SYNOPSIS

     ipwctl [-i] iface
     ipwctl [-i] iface -r


DESCRIPTION

     The ipwctl utility controls the operation of Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 net-
     working devices via ipw(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
             Display adapter's internal statistics.

     -i iface -r
             Display the radio switch state (on or off).

     able from Intel at: http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/firmware.php?fid=3.
