      I have a nano USB wireless N adpater TP-Link TL-WN725N ver. 2.1 on pfSense 2.3.

      Driver URTWN(4)
      https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=urtwn&sektion=4&manpath=freebsd-release-ports

      supports Realtek RTL8188CU/RTL8188RU/RTL8188EU/RTL8192CU based USB IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless network adapters, including my TP-LINK TL-WN725N.

      dmesg tells this:

      ugen0.3: <realtek>at usbus0
      urtwn0: <realtek 0="" 3="" 802.11n="" nic,="" class="" 0,="" rev="" 2.00="" 0.00,="" addr="">on usbus0
      urtwn0: MAC/BB RTL8188EU, RF 6052 1T1R

      wlan0: Ethernet address: f4:f2:6d:0c:xxxx
      wlan0: changing name to 'urtwn0_wlan0'

      re0: link state changed to DOWN
      re0: link state changed to UP
      re1: link state changed to DOWN
      urtwn0: timeout waiting for firmware readiness
      re1: link state changed to UP
      urtwn0: timeout waiting for firmware readiness
      urtwn0: timeout waiting for firmware readiness
      pflog0: promiscuous mode enabled
      urtwn0: timeout waiting for firmware readiness

      ifconfig:

      urtwn0: flags=8803 <up,broadcast,simplex,multicast>metric 0 mtu 2290
      ether f4:f2:6d:0c:fxxxxx
      nd6 options=21 <performnud,auto_linklocal>media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g
      status: associated
      urtwn0_wlan0: flags=8843 <up,broadcast,running,simplex,multicast>metric 0 mtu 1500
      ether f4:f2:6d:0cxxxxxx
      inet6 fe80::xxxxx:6dff:fe0c:fa07%urtwn0_wlan0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x8
      nd6 options=21 <performnud,auto_linklocal>media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g
      status: no carrier
      ssid xxxxx channel 3 (2422 MHz 11g)
      regdomain ETSI country CH authmode WPA1+WPA2/802.11i privacy MIXED

      bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi 7 roam:rate 5 pureg protmode OFF
      roaming MANUAL

      Named as urtwn0 status is associated. As 'urtwn0_wlan0' is no carrier. Is this because of changing name? Only?

      Does "urtwn0: timeout waiting for firmware readiness" mean that firmware or specific kernel module must be loaded? Or is this only, because after renaming urtwn0 doesn't exist anymore?

      I have ver. 2.1, but driver URTWN supports TP-LINK TL-WN725N v2 only. Does this matter?
