Hi!

rtwn_usb(4) depends on rtwn(4) module; you can try to
1) add them to the kernel config;
2) check / fix WITHOUT_MODULES and MODULES_OVERRIDE make.conf(5) variables
3) compile / install them manually

P.S. There is no 'rtwm' module in the tree; what is the exact error message
where it was?
the problem was that if_rtwn.ko was not compiled!
all the others where, i.e. if_rtwn_[pci,usb].ko.
I added all of them to the config, and now it seems to work

so the problem is that the loadable module if_rtwn.ko is NOT compiled
by default, while all the others are,
what is the magic to have it compiled?
From my experience you always have to specify all modules and the modules they depend on. I for example had to specify this for zfs support in the config file:

makeoptions     MODULES_OVERRIDE="zfs opensolaris acl_nfs4"

I actually only wanted zfs, which depends on opensolaris which then again depends on acl_nfs4 (probably because I sepcified nfs4 support in the config file)

I only found out after a few tries. It's really not ideal, that module dependencies are not resolved.
But once you know about it, you can live with it :-)


BTW, I tried this on RPI2, and now will try on an orangepi one.
Is that the SDIO based internal WiFi? Let me know if it works!

Cheers,

Mat

hi,
between r30666 and r30808 i lost my wireless,
s/r30666/r306333/ and s/r30808/r308087/

so reading UPDATE clarified why, I also did a mergemaster so now devd et.all. 
seem to be in sync,
but now devd complains that if_rtwn_usb depends on rtwm and there is no rtwn, 
instead there are
several rtwn-rtl8…., the closest being rtwn-rt18188eufw.ko

this is what the old urtwn has to say:
...
Starting devd.

urtwn0: <Realtek 802.11n NIC, class 0/0, rev 2.00/0.00, addr 2> on usbus0

please help

thanks,
