|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm rum
|
|
.Nd Ralink Technology USB IEEE 802.11a/b/g wireless network device
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel,
|
|
place the following lines in your
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "device ehci"
|
|
.Cd "device uhci"
|
|
.Cd "device ohci"
|
|
.Cd "device usb"
|
|
.Cd "device rum"
|
|
.Cd "device wlan"
|
|
.Cd "device wlan_amrr"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
|
|
module at boot time, place the following line in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
if_rum_load="YES"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver supports USB 2.0 and PCI Express Mini Card wireless adapters based on the
|
|
Ralink RT2501USB and RT2601USB chipsets.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Ralink PCI Express Mini Card adapters show up as normal USB 2.0 devices and are
|
|
thus handled by the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The RT2501USB chipset is the second generation of 802.11a/b/g adapters from
|
|
Ralink.
|
|
It consists of two integrated chips, an RT2571W MAC/BBP and an RT2528 or
|
|
RT5226 radio transceiver.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The RT2601USB chipset consists of two integrated chips, an RT2671 MAC/BBP and
|
|
an RT2527 or RT5225 radio transceiver.
|
|
This chipset uses the MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) technology with
|
|
multiple antennas to extend the operating range of the adapter and to achieve
|
|
higher throughput.
|
|
.Sh HARDWARE
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver supports USB 2.0 and PCI Express Mini Card wireless
|
|
adapters based on the Ralink RT2501USB and RT2601USB chipsets,

Join an existing BSS network (i.e., connect to an access point):
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ifconfig rum0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00"

.Bl -diag
|
|
.It "rum%d: could not load 8051 microcode"
|
|
An error occurred while attempting to upload the microcode to the onboard 8051
|
|
microcontroller unit.
|
|
The driver will reset the hardware.
|
|
This should not happen.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver first appeared in
|
|
.Ox 4.0 .
|
|
.Sh CAVEATS
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver supports automatic control of the transmit speed in BSS mode only.
|
|
Therefore the use of a
|
|
.Nm
|
|
adapter in Host AP mode is discouraged.
