        The drivers are the same as every other platform. If it's supported in FreeBSD 7.2, we support it. If not, it's not supported.

          The adapter is an EW-edimax 7318USG.
          When I use 1.2.3-RC1 installed on HDD, whether it recognizes
          the card as Rum0.
          In nanoBSD is not recognized.

          Greetings.

            1.2.3-RC1 is FreeBSD 7.1, current snapshots are 7.2. It's possible there is a regression in FreeBSD related to that card. If you put it on a full install of current 1.2.3 snapshots from http://snapshots.pfsense.org does it detect it?

              Take the if_rum.ko File from FreeBSD CD (/boot/kernel/)

              Go in the WebGUI in "Diagnostics->Command Prompt".
              Upload File over the "Upload" function.
              The File will be upload to /tmp/

              After Upload use also in "Diagnostics->Command Prompt" the "Execute Shell command" function to move the files to the right location.
              Type in Command: "mv /tmp/*.ko /boot/kernel/" and click on "Execute"
              Now the Kernel Module are on the right location.

              Now edit the /boot/loader.conf File.
              Go on WebGUI in "Diagnostics->Edit file".
              Type in the field "Save/Load from path"  this Text: "/boot/loader.conf" and click on "Load".
              Add this 2 Lines at the end:

              if_rum_load="YES"
              wlan_load="YES"

              and click on "Save"
              Reboot pfSense.

              Now you can Assign you card in the WebGui over "Interfaces->assign" whit the "Plus" and configure it.

                I just noticed a kernel difference, I added rum to the embedded kernel. It'll be in the next snapshot built after this message (August 13 or newer for sure).
