25 To compile this driver into the kernel,
26 place the following lines in your
27 kernel configuration file:
28 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
37 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
38 module at boot time, place the following line in
40 .Bd -literal -offset indent
46 driver supports USB 2.0 wireless adapters based on the RT2500USB chipset.
48 The RT2500USB chipset consists of two integrated chips, a RT2570 MAC/BBP
49 and a radio transceiver (the model of which depends on the card revision).
51 The RT2522, RT2523, RT2524, RT2525, RT2525e and RT2526 radio transceivers
52 operate in the 2.4GHz band (802.11b/g) whereas the RT5222 is a dual-band radio
53 transceiver that can operate in the 2.4GHz and 5.2GHz bands (802.11a).
57 driver supports USB 2.0 wireless adapters based on the Ralink Technology
58 RT2500USB chipset, including:
