+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ray
+.Nd Raytheon Raylink / WebGear Aviator IEEE 802.11 2Mbps Wireless
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "ray* at pcmcia? function ?"
+.Cd "options RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_DEFAULT=RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_USA"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+device driver supports the Raytheon Raylink and Aviator 2.4/PRO
+802.11 FH 2Mbps wireless pcmcia cards.  The cards can be operated in
+either adhoc or infrastructure modes. The operating mode is
+selectable with
+.Xr ifconfig 8 
+through a media option.
+.Pp
+To communicate with other 802.11 cards a common network id or NWID must
+be specified on each station that wishes to participate in the shared
+wireless network.  The NWID can
+be set with
+.Xr ifconfig 8 .
+.Pp
+The device uses IEEE 802.11 standard Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum
+signaling and operates in the ranges of 2.400 to 2.4835 Gigahertz.
+This frequency range is further restricted by country according to
+that country's regulations.  Currently the
+.Nm
+driver defaults to using the ranges appropriate for the USA.
+To change this setting you must define the kernel option
+RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_DEFAULT to one of the following values:
+.Pp
+.Bl -item -compact
+.It
+.Cd RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_USA
+.It
+.Cd RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_EUROPE
+.It
+.Cd RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_JAPAN
+.It
+.Cd RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_KOREA
+.It
+.Cd RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_SPAIN
+.It
+.Cd RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_FRANCE
+.It
+.Cd RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_ISRAEL
+.It
+.Cd RAY_PID_COUNTRY_CODE_AUSTRALIA
+.El
+.Pp
+The output power of the transceiver is 100mW and the card's power consumption
+is 365 mA @ 5 volts.  The transmission range in open air (line of sight)
+is a maximum of 1000 feet (or ~304 meters), and indoors (i.e., with
+obstructions) it is a maximum of 500 feet (152 meters).
+.Sh HARDWARE
+Cards supported by the

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver first appeared in
+.Nx 1.5 .
+.Sh AUTHOR
+The

+.Sh BUGS
+Currently the infrastructure mode is untested, and authentication
+using WEP is unimplemented.
