<p>Todos los controladores wlan de FreeBSD 8 deberían trabajar. Cualquier tarjeta basada PCMCIA, CardBus, ExpressCard, USB o ISA no funcionará. Únicamente las PCI, miniPCI, PCI-Express, miniPci-Express and PCI-X se espera que trabajen.<br/>
<aname="connect"rel="nofollow"id="connect">Connecting to a wireless network</a></h3>
<p>Besides of course unencrypted networks, Haiku has preliminary support for accessing wireless networks via <ahref="#wep-notes"rel="nofollow">WEP encryption keys</a>. WEP is an early encryption method, although not the most secure.</p>
<p>You can list available networks, join and leave them with the command <spanclass="cli">ifconfig</span> from Terminal:</p>
<p>You can find your <tt>wifi_device_path</tt> in the <spanclass="app">Network</span> preferences applet, or by executing <spanclass="cli">ifconfig -a</span>.</p>
<p>Below are a few examples of connecting to a wireless network named <i>wifitopia</i>. For these examples we are assuming your wifi network card is <tt>/dev/net/iprowifi3945/0</tt>.</p>
<aname="auto-connect"rel="nofollow"id="auto-connect">Automatically connecting to a wireless network</a></h3>
<p>To make your system connect to a given SSID at each boot automatically, you can specify your wireless networks and passwords in <tt>/boot/common/settings/network/wireless_networks</tt> with the following format:</p>
<pre>network wifitopia {
password mypassword
}</pre>
<p>If you don't create this configuration file, the system will connect to the first unencrypted network it finds.</p>
<p><p>At the moment there is no WPA encryption available in Haiku, though there have been <atarget="blank"href="http://haiku-os.org/blog/axeld/2010-10-13_wpa_encryption_progress">some efforts</a> bringing it significantly closer.</p></p>
<p>The Intel ipw2100 and iprowifi22xx will install without an internet connection, as the licensing terms allow Haiku to distribute the original firmware archives. However, they do require acknowledgment by the end-user prior to their installation. The Broadcom 43xx and Marvell 88W8335 will require an active internet connection, as the files containing their respective firmwares cannot be distributed with Haiku.</p>
<p>La gente que hace su propio build de la imagen de Haiku puede modificar su <spanclass="cli">build/jam/UserBuildConfig</span> en conformidad. Los detalles para ello y actualizaciones generales del tema de Wifi se encuentran en la <ahref="http://www.haiku-os.org/guides/wifi">versión en línea de este documento</a>.</p>
<p>Si tiene que descargar el firmware, pero no tiene una conexión a Internet funcionando bajo Haiku, la versión en línea de este documento ofrece un <ahref="http://www.haiku-os.org/files/download-data-for-wlan-firmwares.txt"rel="nofollow">script de shell</a>, el cual creará un archivo zip para que se extraiga en la carpeta <tt>/boot</tt> de Haiku. Después de ello tendrá todos los archivos necesarios por install-wifi-firmwares.sh.</p>
