NAME

rtw - RealTek 8180L 802.11b Wireless NIC driver

DESCRIPTION

The rtw 802.11b wireless NIC driver is a multi-threaded, loadable,
clonable, GLDv3-based STREAMS driver supporting RealTek 8180L
chipset-based NIC's.

CONFIGURATION

The rtw driver performs auto-negotiation to determine the data rate
and mode. Supported 802.11b data rates are 1, 2, 5.5 and 11
Mbits/sec. The default is 11.


The rtw driver supports only BSS networks (also known as "ap" or
