### NAME

iwictl - configure Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG/2915ABG network adapters

### SYNOPSIS

iwictl [-i] iface iwictl [-i] iface -r

### DESCRIPTION

The iwictl utility controls the operation of Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG/2915ABG networking devices via the iwi(4) driver.

You should not use this program to configure IEEE 802.11 parameters. Use ifconfig(8) instead.

### OPTIONS

The options are as follows:

-i iface
  Displays adapter's internal statistics. Firmware binary images can be found in the ```pkgsrc/sysutils/iwi-firmware` package.

-i iface -r
  Displays the radio transmitter state (on or off).

### FILES

The firmware is not shipped with NetBSD. It can be obtained via installing the ```pkgsrc/sysutils/iwi-firmware` package and is loaded automatically by the kernel once installed.

### SEE ALSO

iwi(4), ifconfig(8) ```pkgsrc/sysutils/iwi-firmware`
