This shouldn't but may occasionally happen. 84.It "iwi%d: device timeout" 85The driver will reset the hardware. This should not happen. 86.El 87.Sh SEE ALSO 88.Xr an 4 , 89.Xr ifmedia 4 , 90.Xr pci 4 , 91.Xr wi 4 , 92.Xr wlan 4 , 93.Xr ifconfig 8 , 94.Xr wpa_supplicant 8 95.Sh AUTHORS 96.An -nosplit 97The 98.Nm 99driver and this man page were derived from those written by 100.An Damien Bergamini Aq damien.bergamini@free.fr . 101.Pp 102.Dx 103enhancements and IBSS support were written by 104.An Andrew Atrens Aq atrens@nortel.com . 105
