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.
