38 .Nd Texas Instruments ACX100/TNETW1130(ACX111) IEEE 802.11 driver
40 To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in
41 your kernel configuration file:
42 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
45 .Cd "device wlan_ratectl_onoe"
46 .Cd "device wlan_ratectl_amrr"
49 Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
51 .Pa /boot/loader.conf :
52 .Bd -literal -offset indent
58 driver provides support for Texas Instruments ACX100 or
59 TNETW1130 (aka ACX111) based PCI and Cardbus network adapters.
63 driver configures the adapter for BSS operation (infrastructure mode).
64 This mode requires the use of an access point. In addition, IBSS
65 operation (adhoc mode) is also supported.
