RAY(4)

NAME
ray - Raytheon Raylink/WebGear Aviator IEEE 802.11FH wireless network device

SYNOPSIS
ray* at pcmcia?
option RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_DEFAULT=RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_USA

DESCRIPTION
The ray device driver supports the Raytheon Raylink and Aviator 2.4/PRO 802.11 Frequency Hopping 2Mbps wireless PCMCIA cards.

The device uses IEEE 802.11 standard Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum signaling and operates in the ranges of 2.400 to 2.4835 Gigahertz. This frequency range is further restricted by country according to that country's regulations. Currently the ray driver defaults to using the ranges appropriate for the USA. To change this setting, define the kernel option RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_DEFAULT to one of the following values:

    RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_USA
    RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_EUROPE
    RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_JAPAN
    RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_KOREA
    RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_SPAIN
    RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_FRANCE
    RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_ISRAEL
    RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_AUSTRALIA

These are the modes the ray driver can operate in:

BSS mode
    Also known as infrastructure mode, this is used when associating with an access point, through which all traffic passes. This mode is the default.

IBSS mode
    Also known as IEEE ad-hoc mode or peer-to-peer mode. This is the standardized method of operating without an access point. Stations associate with a service set. However, actual connections between stations are peer-to-peer.

The ray driver can be configured at runtime with ifconfig(8) or on boot with hostname.if(5).

HARDWARE
Cards supported by the ray driver include:

Raytheon Raylink WLAN
WebGear Aviator 2.4
WebGear Aviator PRO

EXAMPLES
The following hostname.if(5) example configures ray0 to join whatever network is available on boot, channel 11, obtaining an IP address using DHCP:

    dhcp NONE NONE NONE chan 11

Return ray0 to its default settings:

    # ifconfig ray0 -bssid -chan media autoselect nwid ""

Join an existing BSS network, “my_net”:

    # ifconfig ray0 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net

DIAGNOSTICS

ray0: card failed self test: status x Indicates the card has failed its initial startup tests.

HISTORY
The ray device driver first appeared in NetBSD 1.5. OpenBSD support was added in OpenBSD 2.7.

AUTHORS
-nosplit The ray driver was written by Christian E. Hopps <chopps@netbsd.org> and ported to OpenBSD by Michael Shalayeff <mickey@openbsd.org>.

BUGS
Currently the infrastructure mode is untested, and authentication using WEP is unimplemented.

Firmware version 4 does not interop with version 5 or higher.
