Nope, using the module. BTW, loading the if_run module gives ieee80211_load_module: load the wlan_amrr module by hand for now. Did exactly that, i.e., loaded the wlam_amrr by hand.

After trying to enable wpa, the systems becomes very sluggish on the network side and recovers upon pulling the dongle. I interpret that as some kind of crashing the driver.

Having enabled hostapd for one time kills my wlan and requires a complete reboot. This situation is somewhat better than what I thought before, i.e., if_run supports dlink dwl-122 e1. However, I really need to secure my wireless network. Can anybody point me in a direction where to look for that hostapd issue?

dlink dwl-122g e1 on 9-stable, working only partially? (or not at all?)
Currently I am fighting with (against?) a dlink dwl-g122 usb wlan dongle. The casing is claiming the thing to be of H/W-version E1, F/W-version 5.00, which I interpret as hardware and firmware. I am running 9-stable (FreeBSD ritchie.cruwe.de 9.0-STABLE FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE #8 r235064: Fri May 11 21:32:52 CEST 2012 c...@ritchie.cruwe.de:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/RITCHIE amd64) and admittedly, dwl-g122 is not included in the hw-compatibility list for 9.0. I am also aware that others have been unsuccessful, though some time back, to get dlw-g122 e running (http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=27123). However, I am somewhat successful in getting the dongle recognized by if_run.ko, though not to work as I would like to: dmesg gives then [...] ugen0.3: at usbus0 run0: on usbus0 run0: MAC/BBP RT3070 (rev 0x0201), RF RT2020 (MIMO 1T1R), address b8:a3:86:97:c1:ec ieee80211_load_module: load the wlan_amrr module by hand for now. wlan0: Ethernet address: b8:a3:86:97:c1:ec run0: firmware RT2870 ver. 0.236 loaded ieee80211_load_module: load the wlan_amrr module by hand for now. wlan0: Ethernet address: b8:a3:86:97:c1:ec run0: firmware RT2870 ver. 0.236 loaded run0: firmware RT2870 ver. 0.236 loaded ieee80211_load_module: load the wlan_amrr module by hand for now. wlan0: Ethernet address: b8:a3:86:97:c1:ec run0: firmware RT2870 ver. 0.236 loaded ieee80211_load_module: load the wlan_amrr module by hand for now. wlan0: Ethernet address: b8:a3:86:97:c1:ec run0: firmware RT2870 ver. 0.236 loaded run0: firmware RT2870 ver. 0.236 loaded ieee80211_load_module: load the wlan_amrr module by hand for now. wlan0: Ethernet address: b8:a3:86:97:c1:ec ieee80211_load_module: load the wlan_amrr module by hand for now. wlan0: Ethernet address: b8:a3:86:97:c1:ec run0: firmware RT2870 ver. 0.236 loaded ieee80211_load_module: load the wlan_amrr module by hand for now. wlan0: Ethernet address: b8:a3:86:97:c1:ec run0: firmware RT2870 ver. 0.236 loaded wlan0: ieee80211_new_state_locked: pending RUN -> SCAN transition lost wlan: mac acl policy registered I have no explanation for the multiple occurrences, I have been trying for some time now, though.
