NAME

ral - Ralink RT2500 802.11b/g Wireless driver

DESCRIPTION

The ral 802.11b/g wireless NIC driver is a multi-threaded, loadable,
clonable, GLDv3-based STREAMS driver supporting Ralink RT2500
chipset-based NIC's.

CONFIGURATION

The ral driver performs auto-negotiation to determine the data rate
and mode. Supported 802.11b data rates are 1, 2, 5.5 and 11
Mbits/sec. Supported 802.11g data rates are 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12,
18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbits/sec. The ral driver supports only BSS
networks (also known as "ap" or "infrastructure" networks) and
"open"(or "open-system") or "shared system" authentication.
