Mention -nwid here too, reminded by reyk.

Having to edit all these files makes me realise how many wireless
drivers we actually have.

We have again tried to talk to Intel about being able
to redistribute firmware and they are being totally
unhelpful.

If you'd like to tell Intel how screwed up this
situation is, you should mail majid.awad@intel.com

concentrate on `device', not `driver'; from deraadt

- monitor mode for wpi(4)
- document more DIAGNOSTICS messages for wpi(4)
- the firmware is loaded when the interface is brought up, not during
attachment of the device (ipw, iwi, wpi)

sync ipw man page w/ latest iwi changes.
move firmware packages to a better location.

note that nwid and essid are the same;
from walter goulet and clarified by reyk@

it is not possible to specify `media' and `-mediaopt' to ifconfig at
the same time; just use `media autoselect' in our example how to
return nic to default state;

found by johan torin;
usage confirmed by reyk@

grammar; from jaredy@

mini-PCI/MiniPCI -> Mini PCI

the man page was completely revised by others, remove myself as its author.

we don't support hardware WEP yet.

wireless makeover:

- standardise 802.11 pages
- document modes supported by the card
- document wep
- document relevant ifconfig(8) options
- standard EXAMPLES section
- standard SEE ALSO section
- standard HARDWARE section

includes feedback/diffs from reyk@, jsg@, and damien@;
joint work from dlg@ and myself;

ipwcontrol and iwicontrol removal.

grammatical blip; from damien@

tweak FILES;

document how to get the Intel firmware files (ie. who to mail and phone, hi Peter

use the filesystem based firmware loader; deraadt ok

clarify Nd lines, jmc ok

remove references to other wireless chips: not really useful.
they are already documented in more appropriate places, such
as pci(4);

prompted by a mail from sam chill on tech@

new sentence, new line;
whitespace;

Shorter synopsis lines, more .Xr, and minor cleaning.

support for Intel 2100/2200BG/2915ABG wireless devices written by
damien.bergamini@free.fr. This gets imported even though there is no
firmware in the tree. This is a ridiculous situation: everything is
free, everything works, except Intel will not let us put a little
dinky firmware flat file into OpenBSD. So OpenBSD is ready for Intel
whenever they are.

Are you a consumer? Do you want to see this changed -- contact
jketreno@linux.intel.com and tell him how you feel about this. He is
likely someone who cannot do anything about it, though. If anyone can
work up or down the chain around his department and get me contact
information for various people, I will compile and later publish such
a list. Go do it people -- this is how things will change. Get me
email addresses and phone numbers.

add missing HISTORY; based on CVS logs and release announcements

Mark up email addresses semantically with Mt.

ok schwarze@

jmc notes that the previous commit made for some funny wording.
WPA is the current standard, but not the only one. ok krw

WPA is a real standard, not only a de facto one.
(these man pages do like their copy and paste.)

Update Damien Bergamini's email address, as requested.

use .Mt for email addresses; from Jan Stary <hans at stare dot cz>; ok jmc@

change format strings in error messages to reasonable values more likely
to be understood by people who don't program in C.
ok everyone

rework EXAMPLES somewhat, and remove the obsolete NONE NONE NONE dhcp
stuff; ok krw

Update wording for device firmware to talk update fw_update(1).
Noticed by jcs, discussed with jmc, ok jmc ajacoutot dcoppa deraadt

use Lk for links;

firmwares move to a new url, backed by many addresses

- switch from wpapsk to wpakey
- remove the "return device to default settings" example, which theo says
is rubbish

ok deraadt

crikey! all our wireless pages had the Os macro out of place;

- tweak the way firmware links are displayed

with and ok jmc@

the `W' in WEP apparently stands for wired, not wireless;
from Scott Radvan

use `` instead of $(), since the former works for both csh and ksh; as
pointed out by claudio

remove links to the ipw web page, as damien no longer maintains it;
ok damien

WPA support for ipw(4).
Did a lot of cleanup while I was there.

tweak the wep section somewhat, to bring it into line with what
we say for those devices which support wpa;

link to updated firmware packages that remove the obsolete @ignore
directive. firmware itself does not change.

requested by brad@

remove the CONFIGURATION section from the wireless pages:
the addition of the wpa options have shown just how unwieldy it had
become, it's already in ifconfig(8) anyway, and "ifconfig -m" will
get the relevant ones.

ok dlg jsg

update the DIAGNOSTICS section to reflect the new firmware load failure
message.

convert to new .Dd format;
