RUN(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual RUN(4) NAME run -- Ralink Technology/MediaTek USB IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n wireless network device SYNOPSIS run* at uhub? port ? DESCRIPTION The run driver supports USB 2.0 wireless adapters based on the Ralink RT2700U, RT2800U, RT3000U and RT3900E chipsets. The RT2700U chipset consists of two integrated chips, an RT2770 MAC/BBP and an RT2720 (1T2R) or RT2750 (dual-band 1T2R) radio transceiver. The RT2800U chipset consists of two integrated chips, an RT2870 MAC/BBP and an RT2820 (2T3R) or RT2850 (dual-band 2T3R) radio transceiver. The RT3000U is a single-chip solution based on an RT3070 MAC/BBP and an RT3020 (1T1R), RT3021 (1T2R), RT3022 (2T2R) or RT3052 (dual-band 2T2R) radio transceiver. The RT3900E is a single-chip solution based on an RT3593, RT5390, RT5392 or an RT5592 MAC/BBP and an RT3053 (dual-band 3T3R), RT5370 (1T1R), RT5372 (2T2R), or RT5572 (dual-band 2T2R) radio transceiver. These are the modes the run driver can operate in: BSS mode Also known as infrastructure mode, this is used when asso- ciating with an access point, through which all traffic passes. This mode is the default. monitor mode In this mode the driver is able to receive packets without associating with an access point. This disables the in- ternal receive filter and enables the card to capture packets from networks which it wouldn't normally have ac- cess to, or to scan for access points. The run driver can be configured to use Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA1 and WPA2). WPA2 is the current encryption standard for wireless networks. It is strongly recommended that neither WEP nor WPA1 are used as the sole mechanism to secure wireless communica- tion, due to serious weaknesses. WPA1 is disabled by default and may be enabled using the option "wpaprotos wpa1,wpa2". For standard WPA net- works which use pre-shared keys (PSK), keys are configured using the "wpakey" option. WPA-Enterprise networks require use of the wpa_suppli- cant package. The run driver offloads both encryption and decryption of data frames to the hardware for the WEP40, WEP104, TKIP(+MIC) and CCMP ciphers. The run driver can be configured at runtime with ifconfig(8) or on boot with hostname.if(5).

For some reason, the driver was unable to read the microcode file from the filesystem. The file might be missing or corrupted. run0: could not load 8051 microcode An error occurred while attempting to upload the microcode to the onboard 8051 microcontroller unit. run0: device timeout A frame dispatched to the hardware for transmission did not complete in time. The driver will reset the hardware. This should not happen. SEE ALSO arp(4), ifmedia(4), intro(4), netintro(4), usb(4), hostname.if(5), ifconfig(8) HISTORY The run driver first appeared in OpenBSD 4.5. AUTHORS The run driver was written by Damien Bergamini <damien.bergamini@free.fr>. CAVEATS The run driver does not support any of the 802.11n capabilities offered by the RT2800 and RT3000 chipsets. Additional work is required in ieee80211(9) before those features can be supported. This driver does not support powersave mode. FreeBSD 13.0 November 10, 2019 FreeBSD 13.0
