+.Sh NAME
+.Nm run
+.Nd Ralink Technology USB IEEE 802.11a/g/n 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 run"
+.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_run_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports USB 2.0 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 DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "run%d: error %d, could not read firmware %s"
+For some reason, the driver was unable to read the microcode file from the
+filesystem.
+The file might be missing or corrupted.
+.It "run%d: could not load 8051 microcode"
+An error occurred while attempting to upload the microcode to the onboard 8051
+microcontroller unit.
+.It "run%d: device timeout"
+A frame dispatched to the hardware for transmission did not complete in time.
+The driver will reset the hardware.
+This should not happen.
