I just got a cheap USB WiFi adapter that I thought was a Realtek for some reason, turned out to be Ralink. I was interested in small because I want to mount it at the focal point of a TVRO satellite dish. If I'd known it was Ralink I wouldn't have bought it.
So I plug it into my laptop running OpenBSD 5.2 and it just gets a ugen in dmesg, nothing in ifconfig at all, no drivers attach to it. ugen0 at uhub1 port 3 "MediaTek 802.11 n WLAN" rev 2.01/0.00 addr 2 On a Linux box lsusb says Bus 001 Device 071: ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp. The page at Rakuten where I got it: http://www.rakuten.com/prod/usb-mini-wifi-wireless-adapter-network-card-802-11n-150m/236363146.html There's a UPC code on that page. Any new Ralink driver since 5.2? I couldn't find anything. No paperwork came with it, just a mini-cd with Windows, Mac and supposedly Linux drivers for kernels 2.4 & 2.6 (ancient). It seems to use just "802 11N" as a model number. Any way to get it working or do I set it aside and wait for a driver someday? It was only $7.49 with free shipping. I've got a Realtek RTL8188 coming from China. Alan -- Credit is the root of all evil. - AB1JX
