NAME
urtw - RealTek RTL8187L/RTL8187B USB 802.11b/g Wireless Driver
DESCRIPTION

The urtw 802.11b/g wireless driver is a multi-threaded, loadable, clonable, GLDv3-basedSTREAMS driver supporting the RealTek RTL8187L chipset-based wireless devices.

"Configuration"

The urtw 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, 11, 6, 9, 12, 8, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbits/sec. The atu driver supports only BSS networks (also known asap or infrastructure networks) and open (or open-system) or shared system authentication.
