+.Sh NAME
+.Nm urtw
+.Nd Realtek RTL8187L USB IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network device
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "urtw* at uhub? port ?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports USB 802.11b/g wireless adapters based on the
+Realtek RTL8187L.
+.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 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
+The
+.Nm
+driver can be configured to use
+Wireless 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
+.Nm
+driver relies on the software 802.11 stack for both encryption and decryption
+of data frames.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver can be configured at runtime with
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+or on boot with
+.Xr hostname.if 5 .
+.Sh HARDWARE
+The following adapters should work:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact
+.It Netgear WG111v2
+.It Shuttle XPC Accessory PN20
+.El
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+The following
+.Xr hostname.if 5
+example configures urtw0 to join whatever network is available on boot,
+using WEP key
+.Dq 0x1deadbeef1 ,
+channel 11, obtaining an IP address using DHCP:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+dhcp NONE NONE NONE nwkey 0x1deadbeef1 chan 11
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The following
+.Xr hostname.if 5
+example creates a host-based access point on boot:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+inet 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 NONE media autoselect \e
+ mediaopt hostap nwid my_net chan 11
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Configure urtw0 to join network
+.Dq my_net
+using WPA-PSK with passphrase
+.Dq my_passphrase :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+# ifconfig urtw0 nwid my_net wpa wpapsk \e
+ $(wpa-psk my_net my_passphrase)
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Return urtw0 to its default settings:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+# ifconfig urtw0 -bssid -chan media autoselect \e
+ nwid "" -nwkey -wpa -wpapsk
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Join an existing BSS network,
+.Dq my_net :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+# ifconfig urtw0 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net
+.Ed
