Configured ???????????????
ConnectionControl ???????????????
CreateIBSS=s Enable or disable IBSS Creation. For correct operation, specification of a OwnSSID is required. This mode requires firmware 6.04 or higher. N - Disable Y - Enable Default: N
DebugFlag=n Selects the driver debugging level. This parameter is only available if the module is compiled with debugging enabled. Refer to the file debug.h in the source directory for information on the flag values. 0x00000001L - DBG_ERROR_ON 0x00000002L - DBG_WARNING_ON 0x00000004L - DBG_NOTICE_ON 0x00000008L - DBG_TRACE_ON 0x00000010L - DBG_VERBOSE_ON 0x00000020L - DBG_PARAM_ON 0x00000040L - DBG_BREAK_ON 0x00000100L - DBG_RX_ON 0x00000200L - DBG_TX_ON 0x00000400L - DBG_DS_ON If the module is compiled with debugging enabled, DebugFlag defaults to DBG_ERROR_ON, DBG_WARNING_ON and DBG_BREAK_ON. DebugFlag overrules pc_debug.

This parameter tells the driver which version of the firmware to download to the card. 0 - No download performed (Hermes-I only) 1 - Download STA firmware 2 - Download AP firmware Default: 1, when STA mode functionality is included in the build 2, when code is built exclusively for AP mode
DriverEnable ???????????????
EnableEncryption=n Set the method of Data encryption. 0 - Disable 1 - Enable WEP Encryption 2 - Enable WPA with TKIP encryption Default: 0
Encryption ???????????????
ExcludeUnencrypted=s Controls how the stations must communicate with the AP. Y - Stations must enable encryption and provide the proper encryption key to communicate with the AP. N - Stations do not need to enable encryption to communicate with the AP. Default: N
IntraBSSRelay=s Controls the automatic relay of received messages that are destined for other stations in the BSS. Y - Messages are relayed to the appropriate station(s). N - Messages are passed up to the host. Default: Y
IrqList=i,j,... Specifies the set of interrupts (up to 4) that may be allocated by this driver. This overrides the values set in the IrqMask parameter. NOTE: This parameter is for PCMCIA only.
IrqMask=n Specifies a mask of valid interrupts that may be allocated by this driver. If IrqList is also specified, the values in IrqList are used instead. NOTE: This parameter is for PCMCIA only. Default: 0xdeb8 (IRQ 3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12,14,15)
Key1=s Specifies one of 4 possible keys for the Data encryption. One of these keys, identified by TxKey, is used for the enciphering of Data that is transmitted by this station. All keys specified can be used for the deciphering of Data that is received. The key value can be an ASCII character string or a hexadecimal value. The length of the key value can be 5 characters or 10 hexadecimal digits for the standard encryption (Silver or Gold card), or 13 characters or 26 hexadecimal digits for the encryption with extended keys (Gold card only). The keys defined in the station must match the keys defined in the access points; both on value and number (1 through 4). In 2.0 series Linux kernel modules, values that begin with a number are considered integers. In this case a hexadecimal value string or a character string starting with a number, will need to be surrounded by escaped double quotes (ie. Key1=\\"0x1122334455\\" Key2=\\"12xyz\\"). 5 or 13, printable character string, or 10 or 26 hex digits if preceded by "0x". If this parameter is omitted, the default of the MAC is used ( = 0-length).

MicroWaveRobustness=s Enable or disable Microwave Oven Robustness. N - Disable Y - Enable Default: N
MulticastPMBuffering=s Controls buffering of multicast MAC frames for transmission after DTIM. If no, multicast MAC frames are directly placed in the output queue. Default: Y

MulticastReceive=s Enable or disable receiving of all multicast packets when Card Power Management is enabled. When enabled, the station will wake up frequently to receive the multicast frames. This causes less optimal power savings. N - Disable Y - Enable Default: Y
NetworkAddress=n,n,n,n,n,n Sets the adapter hardware ethernet address (MAC address) to the value specified. Note that this is to be used to specify a Local MAC address. Do not specify this parameter if the card\'s universal address is to be used. Valid values are six hexadecimal digit-pairs (prefixed with 0x). Default: <factory assigned address>
NetworkType ???????????????
OwnATIMWindow=n ATIM window time used for creating an IBSS. Range: 0..100 Default: 0
OwnBeaconInterval=b Beacon Interval in TU Range 20..200 Default - 100

OwnChannel=n Sets the channel the Ad-Hoc or IBSS mode will use. The default channel for Ad-Hoc mode is determined by the Wireless PC Card. The default channel for IBSS is set to 10 by the driver. This value has no effect when the adapter is used with an Access Point (BSS network) since the Access Point automatically determines the channel. Valid values are 0 to 14. However the channels allowed in your region are subject to local regulations and are limited at manufacturing time of the Wireless PC Card. When the provided value is not allowed, the value remains unchanged. 0 - Use default channel Default: 0
OwnDTIMPeriod=n The number of beacon intervals between successive Delivery Traffic Identification Maps (DTIMs). Range: 1..65535 Default: 1
OwnName=s Sets the station name to the specified string value. This parameter is used for diagnostic purposes, as a user-friendly identification of this system. This parameter accepts a maximum of 32 characters. Default: Linux
OwnSSID=s Sets the card network name to the specified string value. This parameter accepts a maximum of 32 characters. Whitespace in the network name will need to be escaped with a backslash (ie. OwnSSID=My\ Network). Default: ANY
pc_debug=n Selects the PCMCIA debugging level. This parameter is only available if the module is compiled with debugging enabled. A non-zero value enables debugging. Higher values yield more information, i.e. for any value all lower values are implied. 8 - DBG_DS_ON 7 - DBG_RX_ON | DBG_TX_ON 6 - DBG_PARAM_ON 5 - DBG_TRACE_ON 4 - DBG_VERBOSE_ON If the module is compiled with debugging enabled, pc_debug defaults to 5. DebugFlag overrules pc_debug. The name pc_debug rather than PcDebug, since pc_debug is used by many PCMCIA driver.
PMEnabled=b Sets the card\'s Power Management state. 0 - Disable 1 - Enable Enhanced Mode 2 - Enabled Standard Mode 0x8000 - Enhanced?????? Mode (to be combined with 0x0001 or 0x0002) Default: 0 (Disabled)
