NAME

     run — Ralink Technology USB IEEE 802.11a/g/n wireless network device

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel
     configuration file:

           device ehci
           device uhci
           device ohci
           device usb
           device run
           device wlan
           device wlan_amrr

     Firmware is also needed, and provided by:

           device runfw

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following lines in
     loader.conf(5):

           if_run_load="YES"
           runfw_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The run driver supports USB 2.0 wireless adapters based on the Ralink RT2700U, RT2800U,
     RT3000U and RT3900E chipsets.

     The RT2700U chipset consists of two integrated chips, an RT2770 MAC/BBP and an RT2720 (1T2R)
     or RT2750 (dual-band 1T2R) radio transceiver.

     The RT2800U chipset consists of two integrated chips, an RT2870 MAC/BBP and an RT2820 (2T3R)
     or RT2850 (dual-band 2T3R) radio transceiver.

     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.

     The RT3900E is a single-chip USB 2.0 802.11n solution.  The MAC/Baseband Processor can be an
     RT3593, RT5390, RT5392 or an RT5592.  The radio can be an RT3053, RT5370, RT5372 or an
     RT5572.  The RT3053 chip operates in the 2GHz and 5GHz spectra and supports up to 3 transmit
     paths and 3 receiver paths (3T3R).  The RT5370 chip operates in the 2GHz spectrum and
     supports 1 transmit path and 1 receiver path (1T1R).  The RT5372 chip operates in the 2GHz
     spectrum and supports up to 2 transmit paths and 2 receiver paths (2T2R).  The RT5572 chip
     operates in the 2GHz and 5GHz spectra and supports up to 2 transmit paths and 2 receiver
     paths (2T2R).

     These are the modes the run driver can operate in:

     BSS mode       Also known as infrastructure mode, this is used when associating with an
                    access point, through which all traffic passes.  This mode is the default.

     Host AP mode   In this mode the driver acts as an access point (base station) for other
                    cards.

     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.

     The run 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 run driver offloads both
     encryption and decryption of data frames to the hardware for the WEP40, WEP104, TKIP(+MIC)
     and CCMP ciphers.

     The run driver can be configured at runtime with ifconfig(8).

EXAMPLES

     Join an existing BSS network (i.e., connect to an access point):

           ifconfig wlan create wlandev run0 inet 192.168.0.20 \
               netmask 0xffffff00

     Join a specific BSS network with network name “my_net”:

           ifconfig wlan create wlandev run0 ssid my_net up

     Join a specific BSS network with 64-bit WEP encryption:

           ifconfig wlan create wlandev run0 ssid my_net \
                   wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890 weptxkey 1 up

     Join a specific BSS network with 128-bit WEP encryption:

           ifconfig wlan create wlandev run0 wlanmode adhoc ssid my_net \
               wepmode on wepkey 0x01020304050607080910111213 weptxkey 1

DIAGNOSTICS

     run%d: faild load firmware of file runfw  For some reason, the driver was unable to read the
     microcode file from the filesystem.  The file might be missing or corrupted.

     run%d: could not load 8051 microcode  An error occurred while attempting to upload the
     microcode to the onboard 8051 microcontroller unit.

     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.
