NAME

       ural - Ralink RT2500USB 802.11b/g Wireless Driver

DESCRIPTION

       The  ural  802.11b/g  wireless  NIC  driver  is	 a  multi-threaded, loadable, clonable,  GLDv3-based  STREAMS driver supporting the Ralink
       RT2500USB chipset-based NIC's.

CONFIGURATION

       The ural 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 ural driver supports only BSS
       networks (also known as "ap" or "infrastructure" networks) and "open" (or "open-system") or "shared system" authentication.

NAME

       ath - Atheros AR52xx 802.11b/g wireless NIC driver

DESCRIPTION

       The  ath  802.11b/g   wireless	NIC  driver  is  a  multi-threaded, loadable, clonable, GLDv3-based STREAMS driver for the Atheros  AR52xx
       (AR5210/5211/5212)  chipset-based  wireless NIC.

       The ath driver functions include controller initialization, wireless 802.11b/g infrastructure network connection, WEP, frame  transmit  and
       receive, and promiscuous and multi-cast	support.

DRIVER CONFIGURATION

       The  ath driver performs auto-negotiation to determine the data rates and mode. Supported 802.11b data rates (Mbits/sec.) are 1, 2, 5.5 and
       11. Supported 802.11g data rates (Mbits/sec.) are 1, 2, 5.5, 11, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54.

	The ath driver supports only BSS networks (also known  as "ap" or "infrastructure" networks) and the "open" (or "opensystem")  authentica-
       tion  type.  Only   WEP	encryption  is	currently supported. Configuration and administration can be performed	through  the  dladm(1M) or
       wificonfig(1M) utilities.
