RAL(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual RAL(4) NAME ral -- Ralink Technology RT2500 IEEE 802.11 driver SYNOPSIS To compile support for the ral driver into your kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device ral device wlan Alternatively, to load the ral driver at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): if_ral_load="YES" DESCRIPTION The ral driver supports PCI/CardBus wireless adapters based on the Ralink RT2500 chipset. 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). 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). The transmit speed is user-selectable or can be adapted automatically by the driver depending on the received-signal strength.

This should not happen. SEE ALSO arp(4), cardbus(4), netintro(4), pci(4), wlan(4), ifconfig(8) Ralink Technology, http://www.ralinktech.com/. HISTORY The ral driver first appeared in OpenBSD 3.7. CAVEATS PCI ral adapters seem to require a PCI 2.2 compliant motherboard and will likely not work with PCI 2.1 only motherboard. AUTHORS The ral driver was written by Damien Bergamini <damien@FreeBSD.org>. BSD July 16, 2005 BSD
