+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ural
+.Nd Ralink Technology USB IEEE 802.11a/b/g wireless network device
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "ural* at uhub? port ?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports USB 2.0 wireless adapters based on the Ralink RT2500USB
+chipset.
+.Pp
+The RT2500USB chipset is the first generation of 802.11b/g adapters from Ralink.
+It consists of two integrated chips, an RT2570 MAC/BBP and an RT2526 radio
+transceiver.
+.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.
+.It IBSS mode
+Also known as
+.Em IEEE ad-hoc
+mode or
+.Em peer-to-peer
+mode.
+This is the standardized method of operating without an access point.
+Stations associate with a service set.
+However, actual connections between stations are peer-to-peer.
+.It Host AP
+In this mode the driver acts as an access point (base station)
+for other cards.
+.It 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.
+.El
+.Pp
+.Nm
+supports software WEP.
+Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the de facto encryption standard
+for wireless networks.
+It can be typically configured in one of three modes:
+no encryption; 40-bit encryption; or 104-bit encryption.
+Unfortunately, due to serious weaknesses in WEP protocol
+it is strongly recommended that it not be used as the
+sole mechanism to secure wireless communication.
+WEP is not enabled by default.
+.Pp
+The transmit speed is user-selectable or can be adapted automatically by the
+driver depending on the number of hardware transmission retries.
+.Sh CONFIGURATION
+The
+.Nm
+driver can be configured at runtime with
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+or on boot with
+.Xr hostname.if 5
+using the following parameters:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Cm bssid Ar bssid
+Set the desired BSSID.
+.It Fl bssid
+Unset the desired BSSID.
+The interface will automatically select a BSSID in this mode, which is
+the default.
+.It Cm chan Ar n
+Set the channel (radio frequency) to be used by the driver based on
+the given channel ID
+.Ar n .
+.It Fl chan
+Unset the desired channel to be used by the driver.
+The driver will automatically select a channel in this mode, which is
+the default.
+.It Cm media Ar media
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following
+.Ar media
+types:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width autoselect -compact
+.It Cm autoselect
+Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
+.It Cm DS1
+Set 802.11b DS 1Mbps operation.
+.It Cm DS2
+Set 802.11b DS 2Mbps operation.
+.It Cm DS5
+Set 802.11b DS 5.5Mbps operation.
+.It Cm DS11
+Set 802.11b DS 11Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM6
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 6Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM9
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 9Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM12
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 12Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM18
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 18Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM24
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 24Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM36
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 36Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM48
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 48Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM54
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 54Mbps operation.
+.El
+.It Cm mediaopt Ar opts
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media options:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width monitor -compact
+.It Cm hostap
+Select Host AP operation.
+.It Cm ibss
+Select IBSS operation.
+.It Cm monitor
+Select monitor mode.
+.El
+.It Fl mediaopt Ar opts
+Disable the specified media options on the driver and return it to the
+default mode of operation (BSS).
+.It Cm mode Ar mode
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following modes:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width 11b -compact
+.It Cm 11a
+Force 802.11a operation.
+.It Cm 11b
+Force 802.11b operation.
+.It Cm 11g
+Force 802.11g operation.
+.El
+.It Cm nwid Ar id
+Set the network ID.
+The
+.Ar id
+can either be any text string up to 32 characters in length,
+or a series of hexadecimal digits up to 64 digits.
+An empty
+.Ar id
+string allows the interface to connect to any available access points.
+By default the
+.Nm
+driver uses an empty string.
+Note that network ID is synonymous with Extended Service Set ID (ESSID).
+.It Fl nwid
+Set the network ID to the empty string to allow the interface to connect
+to any available access point.
+.It Cm nwkey Ar key
+Enable WEP encryption using the specified
+.Ar key .
+The
+.Ar key
+can either be a string, a series of hexadecimal digits (preceded by
+.Sq 0x ) ,
+or a set of keys of the form
+.Dq n:k1,k2,k3,k4 ,
+where
+.Sq n
+specifies which of the keys will be used for transmitted packets,
+and the four keys,
+.Dq k1
+through
+.Dq k4 ,
+are configured as WEP keys.
+If a set of keys is specified, a comma
+.Pq Sq \&,
+within the key must be escaped with a backslash.
+Note that if multiple keys are used, their order must be the same within
+the network.
+.Nm
+is capable of using both 40-bit (5 characters or 10 hexadecimal digits)
+or 104-bit (13 characters or 26 hexadecimal digits) keys.
+.It Fl nwkey
+Disable WEP encryption.
+This is the default mode of operation.
