NAME
       pcan - Cisco Aironet 802.11b wireless NIC driver

DESCRIPTION
       The  pcan  wireless NIC driver is a multi-threaded, loadable, clonable,
       GLDv3-based STREAMS driver. It  supports	 the  pccard  and  PCI/MiniPCI
       cards  with  the	 Cisco Aironet 802.11b chipset. For pccard, the driver
       works in both SPARC and	x86  (32-bit/64-bit)  modes.  For  PCI/MiniPCI
       card, the driver works in 32-bit x86 mode only.

DRIVER CONFIGURATION
       The  pcan  driver  supports  802.11b  data  rates  of  1, 2, 5.5 and 11
       (Mbits/sec). The default is 11.

       The pcan driver supports BSS networks (also known as  "ap"  or  "infra‐
       structure"  networks)  and  IBSS	 networks (also known as "ad-hoc" net‐
       works). For authentication type, the pcan driver	 supports  the	"open"
       (or  "open-system")  mode.  For	encryption type, only WEP is currently
       supported. You perform configuration and administration tasks using the
       dladm(1M) and wificonfig(1M) utilities.
