URAL(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual URAL(4) NAME ural -- Ralink RT2500USB IEEE 802.11a/b/g wireless network driver SYNOPSIS To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device ehci device uhci device ohci device usb device ural device wlan device wlan_amrr Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): if_ural_load="YES" DESCRIPTION The ural driver supports USB 2.0 wireless adapters based on the RT2500USB chipset. The RT2500USB chipset consists of two integrated chips, a RT2570 MAC/BBP and a radio transceiver (the model of which depends on the card revision). The RT2522, RT2523, RT2524, RT2525, RT2525e and RT2526 radio trans- ceivers 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). ural supports station, adhoc, hostap, and monitor mode operation. Only one virtual interface may be configured at any time. For more informa- tion on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).

This should not happen.

AUTHORS The original ural driver was written by Damien Bergamini <damien.bergamini@free.fr>. BUGS Host AP mode doesn't support client power save. Clients using power save mode will experience packet loss (disabling power saving on the client will fix this). FreeBSD 13.2 November 10, 2024 URAL(4)
