I understand your device does not work that great under FreeBSD. It is also possible for you look into the code and try and modify things, watch debug prints and so on and propose a patch. It is not that difficult. Another option is to buy a Raalink based WLAN dongle. See ural/run/rum drivers. They work much more reliably! Thank you! --HPS
