+.TH wavelan 4 2023-02-05 "Linux man-pages 6.05.01"
+.SH NAME
+wavelan \- AT&T GIS WaveLAN ISA device driver
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.BI "insmod wavelan_cs.o [io=" B,B.. "] [ irq=" I,I.. "] [name=" N,N.. ]
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I This driver is obsolete:
+it was removed in Linux 2.6.35.
+.PP
+.B wavelan
+is the low-level device driver for the NCR / AT&T / Lucent
+.B WaveLAN ISA
+and Digital (DEC)
+.B RoamAbout DS
+wireless ethernet adapter.
+This driver is available as a module or
+might be compiled in the kernel.
+This driver supports multiple cards
+in both forms (up to 4) and allocates the next available ethernet
+device (eth0..eth#) for each card found, unless a device name is
+explicitly specified (see below).
+This device name will be reported
+in the kernel log file with the MAC address, NWID, and frequency used
+by the card.
+.SS Parameters
+This section applies to the module form (parameters passed on the
+.BR insmod (8)
+command line).
+If the driver is included in the kernel, use the
+.I ether=IRQ,IO,NAME
+syntax on the kernel command line.
+.TP
+.B io
+Specify the list of base addresses where to search for wavelan cards
+(setting by dip switch on the card).
+If you don't specify any io
+address, the driver will scan 0x390 and 0x3E0 addresses, which might
+conflict with other hardware...
+.TP
+.B irq
+Set the list of IRQs that each wavelan card should use (the value is
+saved in permanent storage for future use).
+.TP
+.B name
+Set the list of names to be used for each wavelan card device (name
+used by
+.BR ifconfig (8)).
+.SS Wireless extensions
+Use
+.BR iwconfig (8)
+to manipulate wireless extensions.
+.SS NWID (or domain)
+Set the network ID
+.RI [ 0
+to
+.IR FFFF ]
+or disable it
+.RI [ off ].
+As the NWID is stored in the card Permanent Storage Area, it will be
+reused at any further invocation of the driver.
+.SS Frequency & channels
+For the 2.4\ GHz 2.00 Hardware, you are able to set the frequency by
+specifying one of the 10 defined channels
+.RI ( 2.412,
+.I 2.422, 2.425, 2.4305, 2.432, 2.442, 2.452, 2.460, 2.462
+or
+.IR 2.484 )
+or directly as a numeric value.
+The frequency is changed immediately and
+permanently.
+Frequency availability depends on the regulations...
+.SS Statistics spy
+Set a list of MAC addresses in the driver (up to 8) and get the last
+quality of link for each of those (see
+.BR iwspy (8)).
+.SS /proc/net/wireless
+.I status
+is the status reported by the modem.
+.I Link quality
+reports the quality of the modulation on the air (direct sequence
+spread spectrum) [max = 16].
+.I Level
+and
+.I Noise
+refer to the signal level and noise level [max = 64].
+The
+.I crypt discarded packet
+and
+.I misc discarded packet
+counters are not implemented.
+.SS Private ioctl
+You may use
+.BR iwpriv (8)
+to manipulate private ioctls.
+.SS Quality and level threshold
+Enables you to define the quality and level threshold used by the
+modem (packet below that level are discarded).
+.SS Histogram
+This functionality makes it possible to set a number of
+signal level intervals and
+to count the number of packets received in each of those defined
+intervals.
+This distribution might be used to calculate the mean value
+and standard deviation of the signal level.
+.SS Specific notes
+This driver fails to detect some
+.B non-NCR/AT&T/Lucent
+Wavelan cards.
+If this happens for you, you must look in the source code on
+how to add your card to the detection routine.
+.PP
+Some of the mentioned features are optional.
+You may enable or disable
+them by changing flags in the driver header and recompile.
