NAME

6       ral - Ralink RT2500 802.11b/g Wireless driver
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The  ral  802.11b/g wireless NIC driver is a  multi-threaded, loadable,
10       clonable, GLDv3-based  STREAMS driver supporting Ralink RT2500 chipset-
11       based NIC's.
12

CONFIGURATION

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