+After you have read the license in /usr/share/doc/legal/realtek

+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports USB 2.0 wireless network devices based on Realtek
+RTL8188SU, RTL8191SU and RTL8192SU chipsets.
+.Pp
+The RTL8188SU is a highly integrated 802.11n adapter that combines
+a MAC, a 1T1R capable baseband and an RF in a single chip.
+It operates in the 2GHz spectrum only.
+.Pp
+The RTL8191SU is a highly integrated multiple-in, single-out (MISO)
+802.11n adapter that combines a MAC, a 1T2R capable baseband and an
+RF in a single chip.
+It operates in the 2GHz spectrum only.
+.Pp
+The RTL8192SU is a highly integrated multiple-in, multiple-out (MIMO)
+802.11n adapter that combines a MAC, a 2T2R capable baseband and an
+RF in a single chip.
+It operates in the 2GHz spectrum only.
+.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.
+.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.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver can be configured at runtime with
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+or on boot with
+.Xr hostname 1 .
+.Sh FILES
+The driver needs at least version 1.2 of the following firmware file,
+which is loaded when an interface is attached:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact
+.It /boot/kernel/rsu-rtl8712fw.ko
+.El
+.Sh HARDWARE
+The following adapters should work:

+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+ifconfig wlan create wlandev rsu0 inet 192.168.0.20 \e
+ netmask 0xffffff00
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Join a specific BSS network with network name

+.Pp
+.Dl "ifconfig wlan create wlandev rsu0 ssid my_net up"
+.Pp
+Join a specific BSS network with 64-bit WEP encryption:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+ifconfig wlan create wlandev rsu0 ssid my_net \e
+ wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890 weptxkey 1 up
+.Ed
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "%s: failed load firmware of file rsu-rtl8712fw"
+For some reason, the driver was unable to read the microcode file from the
+filesystem.
+The file might be missing or corrupted.
+.It "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.
