Run device driver seems to be missing from pfSense 2.0
-
I have a RT3070 fully working here in HOSTAP mode. The wireless card is not really common in the market, but works well: http://www.winxim.com.cn/en/products_xq.asp?ProductNO=24
If you need help to settle the "?" in the spreadsheet, I'm willing to help… just tell me what need to be tested.I think it caught a bug on my first try... it was impossible to associate with it, but it may be because I create and deleted a VAP in the interfaces TAB, because actually chosing "run0" interface directly for my wifi interface. I will try to reproduce it if I have time. A reboot fixed the issue.
I indeed had to add runfw_load="YES" in my loader.conf.
I now have a good question: can this driver be easily backported to FreeBsd 7.2 (pfSense 1.2.3)?
Thanks

Probably not easily since the USB stack in FreeBSD 8.x is different from the USB stack in FreeBSD 7.2. But I have no idea how different the two USB stacks are.

Different enough that I doubt it would be worth the effort involved.

for the record, it appears the run driver doesn't work reliably yet anyway. I can associate but IP traffic is broken, looks similar to kern/132722.
I'll be collecting more info and reporting it.
2 bugs. One in ehci:

and one in the 802.11a support (at least)
