.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
driver supports PCI/CardBus wireless adapters based on the Ralink RT2500
|
|
|
|
|
chipset.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
The RT2500 chipset consists of two integrated chips, a RT2560 MAC/BBP and a
|
|
|
|
|
radio transceiver (the model of which depends on the card revision).
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
The RT2522, RT2523, RT2524, RT2525, RT2525e and RT2526 radio transceivers
|
|
|
|
|
operate in the 2.4GHz band (802.11b/g) whereas the RT5222 is a dual-band radio
|
|
|
|
|
transceiver that can operate in the 2.4GHz and 5.2GHz bands (802.11a).
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
The transmit speed is user-selectable or can be adapted automatically by the
|
2006-01-29 13:12:09 +00:00
|
|
|
driver depending on the received-signal strength and the number of transmission
|
|
|
|
|
retries.
