Alternatively, to load the driver as a
module at boot time, place the following line in
loader.conf5:
if_rum_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The
driver supports USB 2.0 and PCI Express Mini Card wireless adapters based on the
Ralink RT2501USB and RT2601USB chipsets.
Ralink PCI Express Mini Card adapters show up as normal USB 2.0 devices and are
thus handled by the
driver.
The RT2501USB chipset is the second generation of 802.11a/b/g adapters from
Ralink.
It consists of two integrated chips, an RT2571W MAC/BBP and an RT2528 or
RT5226 radio transceiver.
The RT2601USB chipset consists of two integrated chips, an RT2671 MAC/BBP and
an RT2527 or RT5225 radio transceiver.
This chipset uses the MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) technology with
multiple antennas to extend the operating range of the adapter and to achieve
higher throughput.

An error occurred while attempting to upload the microcode to the onboard 8051
microcontroller unit.
The driver will reset the hardware.
This should not happen.
