NAME

urtw - RealTek RTL8187L/RTL8187B USB 802.11b/g Wireless Driver

DESCRIPTION

The urtw 802.11b/g wireless driver is a multi-threaded, loadable,
clonable, GLDv3-based STREAMS driver supporting the RealTek RTL8187L
chipset-based wireless devices.

Configuration

The urtw 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, 11, 6, 9, 12,
18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbits/sec. The urtw driver supports only BSS
networks (also known as ap or infrastructure networks) and open (or
open-system) or shared system authentication.
