Hello, My name is Jake Swensen and I would appreciate any help with using the rsu wireless network adapter driver.
My friend's RTL8187L 802.11g USB wifi adapter works well (with the urtw driver) on my laptop with OpenBSD 5.9 and 6.0 but I am not able to get a Trendnet TEW-649UB to work. It worked when I had FreeBSD installed on this laptop, so I don't think the hardware is damaged. I understand that 802.11n mode is not supported by rsu(4) but I also tried "sudo ifconfig rsu0 mode 11g" and "sudo ifconfig rsu0 mode 11b" -- neither mode worked. I am running a fresh install of OpenBSD 6.0 snapshot from 2016-07-24 because I thought it might have a newer driver than OpenBSD 5.9, which I was previously running on my laptop. Initially the firmware did not load at bootup because it's not included with the default install, so I ran fw_update and then it appears to have loaded at bootup. However, some error messages are displayed and an IPaddress cannot be assigned. user@pc15 ~ % sudo fw_update -v Path to firmware: http://firmware.openbsd.org/firmware/6.0/ Updating: rsu-firmware-1.2p0 user@pc15 ~myConf % ls /etc/firmware/rsu* /etc/firmware/rsu-license /etc/firmware/rsu-rtl8712fw Partial dmesg output for the rsu0: rsu0 at uhub3 port 2 configuration 1 interface 0 "Manufacturer Realtek 11n USB Adapter" rev 2.00/2.00 addr 3 rsu0: MAC/BB RTL8712 cut 3, address d8:eb:97:14:b6:7a rsu0: could not send join command rsu0: could not send site survey command This SSID does not require authentication: user@pc15 ~myConf % cat /etc/hostname.rsu0 nwid mywifi-ssid dhcp After login to Gnome: user@pc15 /etc/firmware % ifconfig lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 32768 index 2 priority 0 llprio 3 groups: lo inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 enc0: flags=0<> index 1 priority 0 llprio 3 groups: enc status: active rsu0: flags=8c43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,OACTIVE,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lladdr d8:eb:97:14:b6:7a index 3 priority 4 llprio 3 groups: wlan media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (DS1) status: no network ieee80211: nwid mywifi-ssid pflog0: flags=141<UP,RUNNING,PROMISC> mtu 33144 index 4 priority 0 llprio 3 groups: pflog user@pc15 ~ % sudo sh /etc/netstart Password: DHCPDISCOVER on rsu0 - interval 3 DHCPDISCOVER on rsu0 - interval 3 DHCPDISCOVER on rsu0 - interval 5 DHCPDISCOVER on rsu0 - interval 13 DHCPDISCOVER on rsu0 - interval 21 DHCPDISCOVER on rsu0 - interval 16 No acceptable DHCPOFFERS received.
