IWICTL(8)

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.
