NAME
     iwk - Intel Pro. Wireless 802.11a/g/n 4965 driver

DESCRIPTION
     The  iwk  802.11a/g/n   wireless  NIC  driver  is  a  multi-
     threaded,  loadable,  clonable,  GLDv3-based  STREAMS driver
     supporting the  Intel  Pro  Wireless  4965AGN  chipset-based
     wireless NIC's.

DRIVER CONFIGURATION
     The iwk driver supports  only  802.11g  BSS  networks  (also
     known  as  "ap" or "infrastructure" networks) and "open" (or
     "open-system") or "shared system" authentication. For  wire-
     less security, WEP encryption and WPA-PSK are currently sup-
     ported. You perform configuration and  administration  tasks
     using the dladm(1M) and wificonfig(1M) utilities.
