+.Nm rum
+.Nd Ralink Technology USB IEEE 802.11a/b/g wireless network device
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following lines in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device ehci"
+.Cd "device uhci"
+.Cd "device ohci"
+.Cd "device usb"
+.Cd "device rum"
+.Cd "device wlan"
+.Cd "device wlan_amrr"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternatively, to load the driver as a
+module at boot time, place the following line in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+if_rum_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports USB 2.0 and PCI Express Mini Card wireless adapters based on the
+Ralink RT2501USB and RT2601USB chipsets.
+.Pp
+Ralink PCI Express Mini Card adapters show up as normal USB 2.0 devices and are
+thus handled by the
+.Nm
+driver.
+.Pp
+The RT2501USB chipset is the second generation of 802.11a/b/g adapters from
+Ralink.
+It consists of two integrated chips, an RT2571W MAC/BBP and an RT2528 or
+RT5226 radio transceiver.
+.Pp
+The RT2601USB chipset consists of two integrated chips, an RT2671 MAC/BBP and
+an RT2527 or RT5225 radio transceiver.
+This chipset uses the MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) technology with
+multiple antennas to extend the operating range of the adapter and to achieve
+higher throughput.
+.Sh HARDWARE
+The following adapters should work:
