Re: RALINK RT3572 supported in 9.1-RELEASE ?

Ronald F. Guilmette articulated:

 
 I have a Trendnet TEW-684UB wireless dual-band USB adapter.  Googling
 around for awhile leads me to believe that this probably contains an
 Ralink RT3572 chipset.
 
 Further googling also leads me to believe that a version of the
 run(4) driver which should support this chipset was comitted some
 considerable time ago.
 
 Can anyone confirm either or both of these two impressions?  Does
 the TEW-684UB contain an Ralink RT3572?  Is support for that chipset
 present in 9.1-RELEASE?
 
 If the answer to both of the above is yes, then where might I find
 a HOW TO sort of doc which might help me to get this running?  I've
 already added the following lines to /boot/loader.conf and rebooted:
 
if_run_load=YES
runfw_load=YES
 
 but apparently to no avail.
 
 After adding the above two lines to loader.conf and rebooting,
 shouldn't the device thenceforth appear in the output of ifconfig
 -a ?  (Mine does not.)

Seriously, it took me three seconds to go to the TRENDnet page and
discover that it uses the RT3573 chip set.
http://wikidevi.com/wiki/TRENDnet_TEW-684UB I will leave discovering
if the run(4) driver supports it as a lesson for the student.

I vaguely recall it made it into -HEAD. I don't think it was ever backported.

RT3572 - yes
RT3573 - unlikely

What does
usbconfig -d N.N dump_device_desc
  ^-- the same number from ugenN.N
say?
