.Dd November 10, 2021 .Dt IWM 4 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm iwm .Nd Intel Wireless AC and Centrino Wireless IEEE 802.11 wireless network driver .Sh SYNOPSIS .Cd "iwm* at pci? dev ? function ?" .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm driver provides support for Intel Wireless 3160, 3165, 3168, 4165, 7260, 7265, 8260, and 8265 PCIe Mini Card Dual Band network adapters.

p By default, the .Nm driver configures the adapter for BSS operation (aka infrastructure mode). This mode requires the use of an access point.

p For more information on configuring this device, see .Xr ifconfig 8 . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ifmedia 4 , .Xr iwn 4 , .Xr ifconfig.if 5 , .Xr ifconfig 8 .Sh AUTHORS The .Nm driver was written by .An Antti Kantee Aq Mt pooka (at] NetBSD.org . .Sh CAVEATS The .Nm driver only supports the 802.11a/b/g capabilities offered by the adapters. Additional work is required in .Xr ieee80211 9 before 802.11n/802.11ac modes can be supported.
