This device was added to -current after 5.8. It will work out of the box in OpenBSD 5.9. The easiest way to get support for it is to use snapshots (i.e. -current). See the "Snapshots" section in http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Flavors You can try to get it to work with 5.7 but this might not work. Getting this device to work on 5.8 (to be released on Oct 18) should be possible using the steps below. Starting with pristine OpenBSD 5.8 kernel source (or 5.7, if you want to try your luck), add the line product NETGEAR WNA1000Mv2 0x9043 WNA1000Mv2 somewhere in the file /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs as shown here: =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs,v retrieving revision 1.654 retrieving revision 1.655 diff -u -r1.654 -r1.655 --- src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs 2015/07/15 13:25:49 1.654 +++ src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs 2015/08/22 15:10:19 1.655 @@ -3135,6 +3135,7 @@ product NETGEAR WNA1100 0x9030 WNA1100 product NETGEAR WNA1000 0x9040 WNA1000 product NETGEAR WNA1000M 0x9041 WNA1000M +product NETGEAR WNA1000Mv2 0x9043 WNA1000Mv2 /* Netgear(2) products */ product NETGEAR2 MA101 0x4100 MA101 Now run $ cd /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/ $ make to re-create the USB device list header files usbdevs.h and usbdevs_data.h.
