21.Sh NAME
22.Nm ural
23.Nd Ralink Technology RT2500USB IEEE 802.11 driver
24.Sh SYNOPSIS
25.Cd "device ehci"
26.Cd "device uhci"
27.Cd "device ohci"
28.Cd "device usb"
29.Cd "device ural"
30.Cd "device wlan"
31.Sh DESCRIPTION
32The
33.Nm
34driver supports USB 2.0 wireless adapters based on the RT2500USB chipset.
35.Pp
36The RT2500USB chipset consists of two integrated chips, a RT2570 MAC/BBP
37and a radio transceiver (the model of which depends on the card revision).
38.Pp
39The RT2522, RT2523, RT2524, RT2525, RT2525e and RT2526 radio transceivers
40operate in the 2.4GHz band (802.11b/g) whereas the RT5222 is a dual-band radio
41transceiver that can operate in the 2.4GHz and 5.2GHz bands (802.11a).
42.Sh HARDWARE
43The following adapters should work:
