Add urtwn driver on pfsense 2.4.4. Network adapter TP-Link TL-WN725N doesn't work

Daddo

Hello everyone,

i have a problem with configuring a usb network adapter TP-Link TL-WN725N. I've read about its compatibility with urtwn driver.
This is my usbconfig.

code
ugen0.2: <Realtek 802.11n NIC> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (500mA)

I don't know how i can active or use that.
I've followed severl guides without result.
Is there someone who can help me step by step?
I know the best solution is to buy a real Access Point, but for the moment i can't.

Thanks

The first thing to try here is to copy the module from a FreeBSD 11.2 image into /boot/modules and test it.

It seems to load fine here but I don't have any wifi hardware to test it with.

[2.4.4-RELEASE][root@m400.stevew.lan]/root: kldload if_urtwn
[2.4.4-RELEASE][root@m400.stevew.lan]/root: kldstat
Id Refs Address            Size     Name

 5    1 0xffffffff83027000 fce0     if_urtwn.ko

If it works you can add it to loader.conf.local so it loads at every boot.

Find the module I used attached. Remove the .tar extension.
