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 ?
It took hours to search this far, is there a quicker way to find drivers that I should have taken, that could go as tips in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html This is how I deduced what I needed: ---------- This is in the chronlogical search order I took: http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/993655/?insert_kz=NA&hk=SEM&WT.srch=1&scamp=GB6_Computer%20u%20Office_Netzwerk&saddg=Netzwerk-Adapter_WLAN-Adapter&gclid=CKK14r7T-LkCFYJd3god_B8Afw Cost 9.95 Euro Paper Label: "Edimax 150 Mbps Wireless 802.11b/g/n nano USB Adapter" "Green PowerSaving 3 time wirless coverage Smart EZmax setup wizard WPS,WPA2, 802.1x support b g Wi Fi n Certified GreenWLAN EW-7811Un MAC Linux Windows7 CDROM: Utility & Multi-language QIG & User Manual, Version 3.0 November 2010 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005CLMJLU/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=sesoca-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B005CLMJLU Modulation OFDM: BPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM, DSSS.

The Linux kernel driver provided is RTL8192cu. It does not work properly. However, a working driver can be downloaded from Realtek: 8192cu. I'm using it now on my desktop with kernel 3.20.25, Ubuntu 12.04. Has worked fine with different distros, various kernels Instructions here: http://www.linux-hardware-guide.com/2012-10-07-edimax-ew-7811un-wireless-usb-150-mbits-802-11n http://www.linux-hardware-guide.com/2012-10-07-edimax-ew-7811un-wireless-usb-150-mbits-802-11n The following devices are identical to the Edimax EW-7811UN: * Edimax EW-7811GLn, EW-7811Un, EW-7811UWn, GWU-H811GLn * Airlink101 AWLL5088 * Sitecom WL-365 * GETNET GN-521U The USB stick uses the Realtek RTL8188CUS chipset, which is supported by the kernel module rtl8192cu. This module is included in the kernel since version >= 3.0 and will be loaded automatically: If the EW-7811UN stick is used with older distributions it might be necessary to use the Edimax original drivers together with NdisWrapper. Furthermore, one can use the original Realtek drivers. http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&ProdID=277&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#2772 http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&ProdID=277&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#2772 2 options to choose: Linux Kernel 2.6.18~2.6.38 and Kernel 3.0.8 Android 1.6~2.3 and 4.0 Version Update Size 3.4.4_4749 2012/11/12 7308k ftp://WebUser:Lc9FuH5r@95.130.192.218/cn/wlan/RTL8192xC_USB_linux_v3.4.4_4749.20121105.zip Or MAC OSX 10.8 Install Package 2.0.1 2012/10/18 2723k ftp://WebUser:Lc9FuH5r@95.130.192.218/cn/wlan/Wlan_11n_USB_MacOS10.8_Driver_UI_2.0.1.zip XXX Browser for some reason moves on to: http://218.210.127.131/ Which has more Realtek chips.
