-.TH WAVELAN 4 2013-09-04 "Linux" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
-.SH NAME
-wavelan \- AT&T GIS WaveLAN ISA device driver
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.BI "insmod wavelan_cs.o [io=" B,B.. "] [ irq=" I,I.. "] [name=" N,N.. ]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I This driver is obsolete:
-it was removed from the kernel in version 2.6.35.
-
-.I wavelan
-is the low-level device driver for the NCR / AT&T / Lucent
-.B WaveLAN ISA
-and Digital (DEC)
-.B RoamAbout DS
-wireless ethernet adapter.
-This driver is available as a module or
-might be compiled in the kernel.
-This driver supports multiple cards
-in both forms (up to 4) and allocates the next available ethernet
-device (eth0..eth#) for each card found, unless a device name is
-explicitly specified (see below).
-This device name will be reported
-in the kernel log file with the MAC address, NWID and frequency used
-by the card.
-.SS Parameters
-This section apply to the module form (parameters passed on the
-.BR insmod (8)
-command line).
-If the driver is included in the kernel, use the
-.I ether=IRQ,IO,NAME
-syntax on the kernel command line.
-.TP
-.B io
-Specify the list of base address where to search for wavelan cards
-(setting by dip switch on the card).
-If you don't specify any io
-address, the driver will scan 0x390 and 0x3E0 addresses, which might
-conflict with other hardware...
-.TP
-.B irq
-Set the list of irq that each wavelan card should use (the value is
-saved in permanent storage for future use).
-.TP
-.B name
-Set the list of name to be used for each wavelan cards device (name
-used by
-.BR ifconfig (8)).
-.SS Wireless extensions
-Use
-.BR iwconfig (8)
-to manipulate wireless extensions.
-.SS NWID (or domain)
-Set the network ID
-.RI [ 0
-to
-.IR FFFF ]
-or disable it
-.RI [ off ].
-As the NWID is stored in the card Permanent Storage Area, it will be
-reuse at any further invocation of the driver.
-.SS Frequency & channels
-For the 2.4GHz 2.00 Hardware, you are able to set the frequency by
-specifying one of the 10 defined channels
-.RI ( 2.412,
-.I 2.422, 2.425, 2.4305, 2.432, 2.442, 2.452, 2.460, 2.462
-or
-.IR 2.484 )
-or directly by its value.
-The frequency is changed immediately and
-permanently.
-Frequency availability depends on the regulations...
-.SS Statistics spy
-Set a list of MAC addresses in the driver (up to 8) and get the last
-quality of link for each of those (see
-.BR iwspy (8)).
-.SS /proc/net/wireless
-.I status
-is the status reported by the modem.
-.I Link quality
-reports the quality of the modulation on the air (direct sequence
-spread spectrum) [max = 16].
-.I Level
-and
-.I Noise
-refer to the signal level and noise level [max = 64].
-The
-.I crypt discarded packet
-and
-.I misc discarded packet
-counters are not implemented.
-.SS Private ioctl
-You may use
-.BR iwpriv (8)
-to manipulate private ioctls.
-.SS Quality and level threshold
-Enable you the define the quality and level threshold used by the
-modem (packet below that level are discarded).
-.SS Histogram
-This functionality makes it possible to set a number of
-signal level intervals and
-to count the number of packets received in each of those defined
-intervals.
-This distribution might be used to calculate the mean value
-and standard deviation of the signal level.
-.SS Specific notes
-This driver will fail to detect some
-.B non-NCR/ATT&T/Lucent
-Wavelan cards.
-If this happens for you, you must look in the source code on
-how to add your card to the detection routine.
-.PP
-Some of the mentioned features are optional.
-You may enable to disable
-them by changing flags in the driver header and recompile.
