Hi current@,
It seems I need if_urtwn driver for a really miniature WLAN USB stick,
& if_urtwn is only in current ?
man 4 if_urtwn refers to ports/net/urtwn-firmware-kmod which is missing ?
This driver was never merged to FreeBSD 9.
OK, Thanks for confirmation.
Can you use FreeBSD 10 instead?
Yes, easier than building from 9.X I guess (& helps test alpha :-).
I'll fetch from local mirror, per
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2013-September/044951.html
The port reference in the man page is wrong. The firmware is now shipped as
part of the base system.
Oh nice, easier :-)
I'm happy to report with 10.0-ALPHA4 /boot/loader.conf if_urtwn_load="YES"
`ifconfig wlan0 scan` works OK. Thanks :-)
Cheers,
Julian
Cool!
I have a g4 tibook 12in with an if_bwn that doesn't really work at all.
I got one of these (if_urtwn) and it works enough to download about a
meg or so before the watchdog kicks in and I have to ifconfig down/up it
to get it to respond again.
I even have a patch pending to add the usb identifier for this.
Is there someone I can provide debug information for to help resolve this?
