51.Sh DESCRIPTION
52The
53.Nm
54driver supports USB 2.0 wireless network devices based on Realtek
55RTL8188SU, RTL8191SU and RTL8192SU chipsets.
56.Pp
57The RTL8188SU is a highly integrated 802.11n adapter that combines
58a MAC, a 1T1R capable baseband and an RF in a single chip.
59It operates in the 2GHz spectrum only.
60.Pp
61The RTL8191SU is a highly integrated multiple-in, single-out (MISO)
62802.11n adapter that combines a MAC, a 1T2R capable baseband and an
63RF in a single chip.
64It operates in the 2GHz spectrum only.
65.Pp
66The RTL8192SU is a highly integrated multiple-in, multiple-out (MIMO)
67802.11n adapter that combines a MAC, a 2T2R capable baseband and an
68RF in a single chip.
69It operates in the 2GHz spectrum only.
70.Pp
71These are the modes the
72.Nm
73driver can operate in:
74.Bl -tag -width "IBSS-masterXX"
75.It BSS mode
76Also known as
77.Em infrastructure
78mode, this is used when associating with an access point, through
79which all traffic passes.
80This mode is the default.
81.El
82.Pp
83The
84.Nm
85driver can be configured to use
86Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or
87Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK).
88WPA is the de facto encryption standard for wireless networks.
89It is strongly recommended that WEP
90not be used as the sole mechanism
91to secure wireless communication,
92due to serious weaknesses in it.
93.Pp
94The
95.Nm
96driver can be configured at runtime with
97.Xr ifconfig 8 .
98.Sh FILES
99The driver needs at least version 1.2 of the following firmware file,
100which is loaded when an interface is attached:

143.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
144.Bl -diag
145.It "%s: failed load firmware of file rsu-rtl8712fw"
146For some reason, the driver was unable to read the microcode file from the
147filesystem.
148The file might be missing or corrupted.
149.It "device timeout"
150A frame dispatched to the hardware for transmission did not complete in time.
151The driver will reset the hardware.
152This should not happen.
