8 ral \- Ralink RT2500 802.11b/g Wireless driver
12 The \fBral\fR \fI802.11b/g\fR wireless NIC driver is a multi-threaded,
13 loadable, clonable, GLDv3-based STREAMS driver supporting Ralink RT2500
18 The \fBral\fR driver performs auto-negotiation to determine the data rate and
19 mode. Supported \fI802.11b\fR data rates are 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbits/sec.
20 Supported \fI802.11g\fR data rates are 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48
21 and 54 Mbits/sec. The \fBral\fR driver supports only BSS networks (also known
22 as "ap" or "infrastructure" networks) and "open"(or "open-system") or "shared
23 system" authentication.
