This mode is the default. .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 Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK). WPA is the current 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 offloads both encryption and decryption of data frames to the hardware for the WEP40, WEP104, TKIP(+MIC) and CCMP ciphers. .Pp The .Nm driver can be configured at runtime with .Xr ifconfig 8 or on boot with .Xr hostname.if 5 . .Sh FILES The driver needs the following firmware files, which are loaded when an interface is brought up: .Pp .Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact .It /etc/firmware/run-rt2870 .It /etc/firmware/run-rt3071 .El .Sh HARDWARE The following adapters should work: .Pp .Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact .It Airlink101 AWLL6090 .It ASUS USB-N11 .It ASUS USB-N13 ver.

For some reason, the driver was unable to read the microcode file from the filesystem. The file might be missing or corrupted. .It "run0: could not load 8051 microcode" An error occurred while attempting to upload the microcode to the onboard 8051 microcontroller unit. .It "run0: device timeout" A frame dispatched to the hardware for transmission did not complete in time. The driver will reset the hardware.

Additional work is required in .Xr ieee80211 9 before those features can be supported. .Pp This driver does not support powersave mode.
