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.
