NAME
     iwh - Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100/5300 Driver

DESCRIPTION
     The iwh 802.11a/g/n wireless NIC driver is a multi-threaded,
     loadable,  clonable,  GLDv3-based  STREAMS driver supporting
     the Intel Shirley Peak  WiFi   chipset-based  NIC's.  Driver
     functions    include   controller  initialization,  wireless
     802.11 infrastructure network  connection,  WEP  and   frame
     transmit and receive.

CONFIGURATION
     The iwh driver performs auto-negotiation  to  determine  the
     data  rate  and mode. Supported 802.11b data rates are 1, 2,
     5.5 and 11 Mbits/sec. Supported 802.11g data rates are 1, 2,
     5.5, 11, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbits/sec.
