 Similarly, if I am correct FUKAUMI Naoki has ported a number of drivers
 from OpenBSD over to NetBSD, as published here:
 http://www.naobsd.org/wifi/
 
 I am currently testing run(4), as seen here:
 /netbsd: run0 at uhub4 port 2
 /netbsd: run0: Ralink 802.11 g WLAN, rev 2.00/1.01, addr 2
 /netbsd: run0: MAC/BBP RT3070 (rev 0x0201), RF RT2020 (MIMO 1T1R), address 
00:0c:f6:60:8a:49
 /netbsd: run0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
 /netbsd: run0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 
24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
 
 I am experiencing a few issues:
 - occasional reboots
 - unable to get traffic going after being associated to some networks
   (channel issue?)
 
 But otherwise I have been able to scan some networks using kismet
 (probably couldn't catch all the ones available though), and then
 associate with a few and actually use them.
 
 I haven't tested WPA or WEP-based networks yet.
 
 HTH,
