23 .Nd "Ralink Technology RT2500USB IEEE 802.11 driver"
25 To compile this driver into the kernel,
26 place the following lines in your
27 kernel configuration file:
28 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
35 .Cd "device wlan_ratectl_onoe"
38 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
39 module at boot time, place the following line in
41 .Bd -literal -offset indent
47 driver supports USB 2.0 wireless adapters based on the RT2500USB chipset.
49 The RT2500USB chipset consists of two integrated chips, a RT2570 MAC/BBP
50 and a radio transceiver (the model of which depends on the card revision).
52 The RT2522, RT2523, RT2524, RT2525, RT2525e and RT2526 radio transceivers
53 operate in the 2.4GHz band (802.11b/g) whereas the RT5222 is a dual-band radio
54 transceiver that can operate in the 2.4GHz and 5.2GHz bands (802.11a).
58 driver supports the following adapters:
70 Buffalo WLI-U2-KG54-AI
72 Buffalo WLI-U2-KG54-YB
92 KCORP LifeStyle KLS-685
106 Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector
133 An up to date list can be found at
134 .Pa http://ralink.rapla.net/ .
142 .It "ural%d: device timeout"
143 The driver will reset the hardware.
144 This should not happen.
