Hello,
Today I added a Zyxel NWD2015[1] usb network adapter to a laptop running latest
FreeBSD 10.2-stable:
root@kg-z30b# uname -a
FreeBSD kg-z30b.kg4.no 10.2-STABLE FreeBSD 10.2-STABLE #0 r292123: Sat Dec 12
00:58:41 CET 2015
r...@kg-z30b.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
As support for this was added by a patch from bug 188046[2] back in 2014, I was
a bit surprised to see that if_run loaded, but the
adapter wasn't detected.
I turns out that only half the patch from the bug is in stable/10:
root@kg-z30b# grep NWD2105 /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs
product ZYXEL RT3070 0x341e NWD2105
but the second half is missing:
root@kg-z30b# grep ZYXEL /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/wlan/if_run.c
RUN_DEV(ZYXEL, RT2870_1),
RUN_DEV(ZYXEL, RT2870_2),
RUN_DEV_EJECT(ZYXEL, NWD2705),
adding the missing part and recompiling if_run module and the NWD2105 works.
