+      <p>The <tt>urtwn(4)</tt> driver was imported from OpenBSD.  This
+	is a driver for very small Realtek USB WiFi cards which are pretty
+	inexpensive and can do 802.11n at the maximum theoretical speed
+	of 150 Mbps.  They make a good addition to embedded systems such
+	as the Raspberry Pi and the BeagleBone.  The driver requires
+	firmware that is available in the &os; Ports Collection
+	(<tt>net/urtwn-firmware-kmod</tt>).  Note that 802.11n is not
+	yet supported.</p>
