![]() ![]() The Atheros driver is split up into three separate pieces: the proper driver ( ath(4)), the hardware Require the following line to be added to the /boot/nf These devices are supported by the ath(4) driver and The first thing you need is a wireless device. ![]() ![]() Multiple modules so that you only need to configure the software you are actually going Kernel with the appropriate wireless networking support. To use wireless networking, you need a wireless networking card and to configure the Supported for a limited set of wireless devices. The WPAĪnd 802.11i security protocols are likewise supported (in conjunction with any of 11a,ġ1b, and 11g) and QoS and traffic prioritization required by the WME/WMM protocols are Proper implementation of these protocols enable high speed bursting of dataįreeBSD supports networks that operate using 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g. Wireless network through Quality of Service (QoS) protocols and enhanced media access Thing to know about 802.11e and WME/WMM is that it enables prioritized traffic use of a Industry group as a subset of 802.11e that can be deployed now to enable multi-mediaĪpplications while waiting for the final ratification of 802.11e. Precursor specification termed WME (later renamed WMM) that has been defined by an Video and voice over IP (VoIP) in an 802.11 network. This defines protocols for deploying multi-media applications such as streaming Other than the above protocol standards the other important standard to be aware of isĨ02.11e. Was deemed too computationally costly to be implemented on legacy hardware.) (The AES cipher was not required in WPA because it 802.11i permits use of TKIP but also requires support for a strongerĬipher, AES-CCM, for encrypting data. Specifically WPA requires only the TKIP cipher that is derived from the Subset of the requirements found in 802.11i and is designed for implementation on legacy Group as an interim measure while waiting for 802.11i to be ratified. This was a precursor to 802.11i defined by an industry Another security protocol specification commonly used in Periodically refreshed and there are mechanisms for detecting intrusion attempts (and forĬountering intrusion attempts). Point and exchange keys for doing data communication. Given by the IEEE 802.11i specification that defines newĬryptographic ciphers and an additional protocol to authenticate stations to an access This scheme was shown to be easily broken and is now rarely usedĮxcept to discourage transient users from joining networks. This protocol uses a fixed pre-shared key and the RC4 cryptographicĬipher to encode data transmitted on a network. The original 802.11 specifications defined a simple security Separate from the underlying transmission techniques 802.11 networks have a variety of Of 802.11a signalling and transmission mechanisms in the 2.4GHz band in such a way as toīe backwards compatible with 802.11b networks. Still later the 802.11g standard was defined to enable use Standard defined operation in the 5GHz band, including different signalling mechanismsĪnd higher transmission rates. Transmission rates (communication can be done at various rates). Include the operating frequencies, MAC layer characteristics including framing and This form of network is termed an IBSS and is commonly known as an ad-hoc network.Ĩ02.11 networks were first deployed in the 2.4GHz band using protocols defined by the In the second form of network there is no master and stations communicateĭirectly. One station wants to communicate with another wireless station messages must go through In a BSS all communication passes through the AP even when Other stations associating to it the network is known as a BSS and the master station is With radios that broadcast in either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz band (though this variesĪccording to the locale and is also changing to enable communication in the 2.3GHz andĨ02.11 networks are organized in two ways: in infrastructure mode one station acts as a master with all the A basic wireless network consists of multiple stations communicating Most wireless networks are based on the IEEE®Ĩ02.11 standards. ![]()
