Name

rwd - Ralink RT2561/RT2561S/RT2661 IEEE802.11b/g wireless network driver

Description

The rwd IEEE802.11b/g wireless network driver is a multithreaded, loadable, clonable, GLDv3-based STREAMS driver supporting Ralink RT2561/RT2561S/RT2661 IEEE802.11b/g wireless network driver.

Configuration

The rwd driver performs auto-negotiation to determine the data rate and mode. The driver supports only BSS networks (also known as ap or infrastructure networks) and open (or open-system) or shared system authentication. For wireless security, WEP encryption, WPA-PSk, and WPA2-PSK are currently supported. You can perform configuration and administration tasks using the dladm(1M) utility.
