NAME
uwba, uwb - Solaris UWB Architecture (UWBA)
DESCRIPTION
Ultra-WideBand (UWB) radio technology supports high
bandwidth for wireless devices. UWBA is a miscellaneous module and it supports radio controller drivers for UWB based devices like HWA (Host Wire Adapter), WHCI (Wireless Host Controller Interface) and so forth. For example, both HWA radio controller driver (hwarc) and whci driver registerto uwba during attach.
UWBA provides a series of common interfaces for drivers that support UWB radio technology. Each radio controller driverregister itself as a UWB dev to the uwba model in the attach
entry, then other driver or module can control this deviceto perform the UWB functions through a list of common inter-
face. For example, a hwahc driver can control the hwarc driver to scan in a specific channel, start/stop beacon,manage device/MAC address, and so forth. FILES
