Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
if_upgt_load="YES"
These are the modes the upgt 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. |
| monitor mode | In this mode the driver is able to receive packets without associating with an access point. This disables the internal receive filter and enables the card to capture packets from networks which it wouldn't normally have access to, or to scan for access points. |
upgt supports software WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the de facto encryption standard for wireless networks. It can be typically configured in one of three modes: no encryption; 40-bit encryption; or 104-bit encryption. Unfortunately, due to serious weaknesses in WEP protocol it is strongly recommended that it not be used as the sole mechanism to secure wireless communication. WEP is not enabled by default.
The upgt driver can be configured at runtime with ifconfig(8).

Join a specific BSS network with network name "my_net":
ifconfig wlan create wlandev upgt0 ssid my_net up
Join a specific BSS network with 64-bit WEP encryption:
ifconfig wlan create wlandev upgt0 ssid my_net \
wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890 weptxkey 1 up
