The +driver currently only supports the use of the additional 4K of I/O memory. +.Pp +In use, the cards appear to achieve up to a 420Kb/s transfer rate, though +a transfer rate between 250Kb/s and 350Kb/s is typical. The card +operates in the 2.4Ghz frequency range and is subject to interference +from microwaves as well as earth. +.Pp +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr intro 4 , +.Xr arp 4 , +.Xr inet 4 , +.Xr cnwctl 8
