Intelligraphics Atheros Linux WLAN Driver (802.11a/b/g/n)
Basic Features:
• Fully Compliant with IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n standards
• Supports Linux-2.4 and Linux-2.6 Kernel Versions
• Complete host based software MLME
• Modular Hardware Layer (HAL Layer)
• Both Adhoc and Infrastructure modes
• Roaming
• Selectable Preamble (Long/Short/Auto)
• Tx and Rx Antenna Selections (1, 2 or Both)
• Selectable Transmit Data Rate
• Fragmentation/Reassembly
• Statistics support
• Power-Save Mode support
Security Features:
• WEP Encryption support for 64/128/152 bit modes with Open/Shared Key Authentication modes
• EAP (802.1x RADIUS Server) Authentication with external agent like wpa-supplicant (EAP TTLS, PEAP, LEAP)
• Supports WPA Key-Management with TKIP encryption
• Supports WPA2 Key-Management with AES encryption
Advance Features:
• Spectrum Management DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) 802.11h compliance
• Transmit Power-Control (TPC) following regulatory-constraints on Tx-Power in 5GHz Spectrum
• QoS WMM support
• Supports 802.11a SuperA (with/without Turbo mode) & 802.11g SuperG (with/without Turbo mode)
Additional Driver Features:
• Supports both Background/ Foreground Scanning
• IPW (Intel-Pro Wireless) interface for WPA-Supplicant interaction with client driver
• Selectable one among five pre-defined Roaming-Policies, each one with different set of RSSI & Data-Rate thresholds. Possible to select one that suits/fits end-user application WLAN
• Update on current Absolute signal-strength to estimate AP-Station Link quality
• Extensive iotcl support along with proprietary private-ioctls (iwpriv) interface
The Intelligraphics ixathcfg script works with the driver to support:
Provides simple command-Line script to abstract the complexity involved in using iwconfig / iwpriv interfaces for each individual set/get.
• Single command with multiple options to establish initial connection
• Selection of combination a/b/g protocols to control the channels to scan & APs to connect
• Selection Authentication Algorithm (Open/Shared Key)
• Other parameters Setting:
• Network BSSID
• Selection of Infrastructure/Ad-Hoc
• Channel
• IP Address
• Security Option Selection (None, WEP Key Setting)
• Selection of 64/128 bit WEP mode
