>Description: Some Netgear USB wireless adapter devices are labelled WG111V2 externally but are actually WG111V2_2 devices as listed in /sys/dev/usb/usbdevs. These devices are not recognised by FreeBSD 8.1 since they are not listed as supported. Booting with this USB device inserted will result in the device being recognised as a default USB device, not an actual wireless adapter. >How-To-Repeat: Plug in a Netgear WG111V2_2 USB wireless adapter and boot. Not all devices labelled WG111V2 are actually WG111V2_2. WG111V2_2 devices will not be recognised as a network device but will use the default USB device. My device of this type is externally labelled WG111V2 but is revealed as WG111V2_2 by the usbconfig output: $ usbconfig -u 4 -a 2 dump_device_desc ugen4.2: <Cohiba 3887 rev0 GlobespanVirata> at usbus4, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON bLength = 0x0012 bDescriptorType = 0x0001 bcdUSB = 0x0200 bDeviceClass = 0x0000 bDeviceSubClass = 0x0000 bDeviceProtocol = 0x0000 bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0040 idVendor = 0x0846 idProduct = 0x4240 bcdDevice = 0x1020 iManufacturer = 0x0001 <GlobespanVirata> iProduct = 0x0002 <Cohiba 3887 rev0> iSerialNumber = 0x0003 <3887-0000> bNumConfigurations = 0x0001 >Fix: WG111V2_2 devices use the GW3887 chipset and therefore need the PrismGT driver upgt rather than the urtw driver used for all other Netgear WG111 devices: > cat /sys/dev/usb/usbdevs | grep WG111V2_2 product NETGEAR WG111V2_2 0x4240 PrismGT USB 2.0 WLAN WG111V2_2 is not listed as a device supported by upgt in /sys/dev/usb/wlan/if_upgt.c, so it needs to be added: UPGT_DEV(NETGEAR, WG111V2_2), Attached patch provides this update.
