Bug in wireless

momothefox

take alook on that topic

http://forum.m0n0.ch/index.php/topic,6135.0.html

i think it is the same in pfsense as i said on that topic. as i cannot find "runfw_load" at all in /boot/defaults/loader.conf
but i see 2 lines
if_run_load="NO" # Ralink Technology USB 802.11a/g/n wireless
if_run_load="NO" # Ralink USB 802.11 wireless adaptert

so i guess the second one should be runfw_load

momothefox

after editing /boot/defaults/loader.conf by replacing

if_run_load="NO" # Ralink USB 802.11 wireless adaptert

with
runfw_load="NO" # Firmware Module for Ralink driver

and reboot with connecting my USB wifi
system logs shows

Feb 10 13:55:32 kernel: device_attach: run0 attach returned 6

so maybe kernel was not compiled with option "device runfw"
