20.Sh NAME
21.Nm run
22.Nd Ralink Technology/MediaTek USB IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n wireless network device
23.Sh SYNOPSIS
24.Cd "run* at uhub? port ?"
25.Sh DESCRIPTION
26The
27.Nm
28driver supports USB 2.0 wireless adapters based on the Ralink RT2700U,
29RT2800U, RT3000U and RT3900E chipsets.
30.Pp
31The RT2700U chipset consists of two integrated chips, an RT2770 MAC/BBP and
32an RT2720 (1T2R) or RT2750 (dual-band 1T2R) radio transceiver.
33.Pp
34The RT2800U chipset consists of two integrated chips, an RT2870 MAC/BBP and
35an RT2820 (2T3R) or RT2850 (dual-band 2T3R) radio transceiver.
36.Pp
37The RT3000U is a single-chip solution based on an RT3070 MAC/BBP and
38an RT3020 (1T1R), RT3021 (1T2R), RT3022 (2T2R) or RT3052 (dual-band 2T2R)
39radio transceiver.
40.Pp
41The RT3900E is a single-chip solution based on an RT3593, RT5390,
42RT5392 or an RT5592 MAC/BBP and an RT3053 (dual-band 3T3R),
43RT5370 (1T1R), RT5372 (2T2R), or RT5572 (dual-band 2T2R)
44radio transceiver.
45.Pp
46These are the modes the
47.Nm
48driver can operate in:
49.Bl -tag -width "IBSS-masterXX"
50.It BSS mode
51Also known as
52.Em infrastructure
53mode, this is used when associating with an access point, through
54which all traffic passes.
55This mode is the default.
56.It monitor mode
57In this mode the driver is able to receive packets without
58associating with an access point.
59This disables the internal receive filter and enables the card to
60capture packets from networks which it wouldn't normally have access to,
61or to scan for access points.
62.El
63.Pp
64The
65.Nm
66driver can be configured to use
67Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or
68Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK).
69WPA is the current encryption standard for wireless networks.
70It is strongly recommended that WEP
71not be used as the sole mechanism
72to secure wireless communication,
73due to serious weaknesses in it.
74The
75.Nm
76driver offloads both encryption and decryption of data frames to the
77hardware for the WEP40, WEP104, TKIP(+MIC) and CCMP ciphers.
78.Pp
79The
80.Nm
81driver can be configured at runtime with
82.Xr ifconfig 8
83or on boot with
84.Xr hostname.if 5 .
85.Sh FILES
86The driver needs the following firmware files,
87which are loaded when an interface is brought up:
88.Pp
89.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact
90.It /etc/firmware/run-rt2870

195.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
196.Bl -diag
197.It "run0: error N, could not read firmware ..."
198For some reason, the driver was unable to read the microcode file from the
199filesystem.
200The file might be missing or corrupted.
201.It "run0: could not load 8051 microcode"
202An error occurred while attempting to upload the microcode to the onboard 8051
203microcontroller unit.
204.It "run0: device timeout"
205A frame dispatched to the hardware for transmission did not complete in time.
206The driver will reset the hardware.
207This should not happen.
