Ralink provides some documentation without a
non-disclosure agreement. This includes datasheets of their PCI and PCIe chipsets, but for now does not include documentation of their
system on a chip used in
Wireless routers.
Linux Drivers for MediaTek Ralink wireless network interface controllers were mainlined into the
Linux kernel version 2.6.24. (See
Comparison of open-source wireless drivers.) Ralink provides
GNU General Public License-licensed (GPL) drivers for the
Linux kernel. While Linux drivers for the older RT2500 chipsets are no longer updated by Ralink, these are now being maintained by Serialmonkey's rt2x00 project. Current Ralink chipsets require a firmware to be loaded. Ralink allows the use and redistribution of firmware, but does not allow its modification. ==See also==
