NAME
     ral - Ralink RT2500 802.11b/g Wireless driver

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. The ral
     driver supports only BS  networks (also  known as  "ap"  or
     "infrastructure"  networks)  and "open"(or "open-system") or
     "shared system" authentication.
