      hello

      pfsense supports the thinking of the USB wireless adapter I bought tplink tl-wn321g v4.

      problem is the following:

      during the first boot pfsense does not recognize the usb adapter.

      ugen4.2: <ralink>at usbus4
      run0: <1.0> on usbus4
      Root mount waiting for: usbus4
      run0: MAC/BBP RT3070 (rev 0x0201), RF RT2020 (MIMO 1T1R), address 74:ea:3a:95:2b:4e
      runfw: root not mounted yet, no way to load image
      run0: failed loadfirmware of file runfw
      run0: could not load 8051 microcode
      device_attach: run0 attach returned 6
      run0: <1.0> on usbus4
      run0: MAC/BBP RT3070 (rev 0x0201), RF RT2020 (MIMO 1T1R), address 74:ea:3a:95:2b:4e
      runfw: root not mounted yet, no way to load image
      run0: failed loadfirmware of file runfw
      run0: could not load 8051 microcode
      device_attach: run0 attach returned 6
      Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a

      After the boot process, see the device when inserting the device off the back.

      run0: <1.0> on usbus4
      run0: MAC/BBP RT3070 (rev 0x0201), RF RT2020 (MIMO 1T1R), address 74:ea:3a:95:2b:4e
      run0: firmware RT2870 loaded

      pfsense every boot when I'm having this problem.

      I think there are drivers but could not figure out the problem. Is it possible to install pfsense to the driver?

      pfsense 2.0 rc1
      tl-wn321g tplink v4 (Ralink rt2020 or rt 3070)

      I wish you good day</ralink>

        Add the line

        runfw_load="YES"

        to /boot/loader.conf.local to get the firmware loaded at boot time.

          Thank you.

          The first problem is solved at the time of the boot.

          ip to the modem but can not ignore this time. I use the product as a wan.

          installed pfsense will do again.

          I do not understand there's a problem. realtek modem chip product is the same rope. tp-link does not.
