CNW(4) BSD Programmer's Manual CNW(4)NAMEcnw - Netwave AirSurfer Wireless LAN interface
SYNOPSIS
cnw0 at pcmcia?
DESCRIPTION
The cnw interface provides access to a theoretical 1 Mb/s wireless Ether-
net network based on the Netwave AirSurfer Wireless LAN (formerly known
as the Xircom Netwave Wireless LAN). It use 32K of I/O memory mapped to
the card along with either 16 I/O ports or 4K of additional I/O memory
for access to command registers. The driver currently only supports the
use of the additional 4K of I/O memory.
In use, the cards appear to achieve up to a 420Kb/s transfer rate, though
a transfer rate between 250Kb/s and 350Kb/s is typical. The card oper-
ates in the 2.4Ghz frequency range and is subject to interference from
microwaves as well as earth.
You probably need to set -pccard_iowait to on in /etc/boot.default (see
boot(8)) for this device to work.
