+chipset. +.Pp +The RT2500 chipset consists of two integrated chips, a RT2560 MAC/BBP and a +radio transceiver (the model of which depends on the card revision). +.Pp +The RT2522, RT2523, RT2524, RT2525, RT2525e and RT2526 radio transceivers +operate in the 2.4GHz band (802.11b/g) whereas the RT5222 is a dual-band radio +transceiver that can operate in the 2.4GHz and 5.2GHz bands (802.11a). +.Pp +The transmit speed is user-selectable or can be adapted automatically by the +driver depending on the received-signal strength. +.Sh HARDWARE +The following adapters should work: +.Pp +.Bl
