ralink wireless (run/rt2870)



Hello, i am interested in installing NetBSD onto my main desktop
computer, the one thing stopping me is that i cannot find "if" there is
a working module/driver for the Ralink based chipsets of wireless
dongles.

I cannot connect the computer via ethernet so i "need" a wireless
connection after the install, the specific dongle i have is:

Belkin Components F5D8053 N Wireless USB Adapter v1000/v4000

This works beautifully on Linux with the "rt2870sta" module, and also
under FreeBSD which it uses the "run" module.

I understand that kernel modules are loaded with `modload' in NetBSD,
however i haven't a clue at the actual module name i need to load (if
there is one available).

I am curious if this is supported in NetBSD and where can i find
specific information about wireless management?
Thanks.
