wireless adapters based on the Ralink RT2700U, +RT2800U and RT3000U chipsets. +.Pp +The RT2700U chipset consists of two integrated chips, an RT2770 MAC/BBP and +an RT2720 (1T2R) or RT2750 (dual-band 1T2R) radio transceiver. +.Pp +The RT2800U chipset consists of two integrated chips, an RT2870 MAC/BBP and +an RT2820 (2T3R) or RT2850 (dual-band 2T3R) radio transceiver. +.Pp +The RT3000U is a single-chip solution based on an RT3070 MAC/BBP and +an RT3020 (1T1R), RT3021 (1T2R) or RT3022 (2T2R) single-band radio +transceiver. +.Pp +These are the modes the +.Nm +driver can operate in: +.Bl -tag -width "IBSS-masterXX" +.It BSS mode +Also known as +.Em infrastructure +mode, this is used when associating with an access point, through +which all traffic passes. +This mode is the default. +.It monitor mode +In this mode the driver is able to receive packets without +associating with an access point. +This disables the internal receive filter and enables the card to +capture packets from networks which it wouldn't normally have access to, +or to scan for access points. +.El +.Pp +The +.Nm +driver can be configured to use +Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or +Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK). +WPA is the de facto encryption standard for wireless networks. +It is strongly recommended that WEP +not be used as the sole mechanism +to secure wireless communication, +due to serious weaknesses in it. +The +.Nm +driver offloads both encryption and decryption of data frames to the +hardware for the WEP40, WEP104, TKIP(+MIC) and CCMP ciphers. +.Pp +The +.Nm +driver can be configured at runtime with +.Xr ifconfig 8 +or on boot with +.Xr hostname.if 5 . +.Sh HARDWARE +The following adapters should work: +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact +.It Airlink101
