NAME

iwh - Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100/5300 Driver

DESCRIPTION

The iwh 802.11a/g/n wireless NIC driver is a multi-threaded,
loadable, clonable, GLDv3-based STREAMS driver supporting the Intel
Shirley Peak WiFi chipset-based NIC's. Driver functions include
controller initialization, wireless 802.11 infrastructure network
connection, WEP and frame transmit and receive.

CONFIGURATION
