Dear Sir/Madam=0A=0AIt has been known for some time that bsd-flavours of Un= ix try hard to be capable of=0Arunning as much hardware as it can be.=0AWha= t am I interested in is the development stage of atheros wifi drivers for N= speed =0AUSB devices.=0AI am using tp link Wn 821 N=C2=A0 and it works fla= wlessly under Linux.=0A=0ANow, when it comes top Freebsd, I fire up the sys= tem and under no circumstances =0Acan't the system even recognize the devic= e.=0AWhat really makes me curious is the fact there's no way of loading the= uath driver.=0AKldload responses with information that it is already loade= d in kernel but =0Akldstat -v gives no clue about it. =0AFurthermore, 'kldl= oad if_uath.ko' gives an error, namely that of impossibility of =0Aloading = the given module by hand though 'ls'=C2=A0 recognizes it while listing=0A/b= oot/kernel directory.=0A=0ASo, the point is I cannot load atheros usb wifi = module by myself as it already=0Ahas been done during boot but the system c= annot get the module working as well.=0AI am using regular version 8.3 of F= reebsd at the moment, but the problem was relevant=0Ato the newer one too.= =0AI didn't play with the kernel nor did I recompile it.=0AIn addition, "if= config wlan0 create wlandev uath0" returns always error stating that=0A"can= not create interface wlan0" or sth. similar in meaning.=0A=0ACan anyone be = so kind and explain in detail what should I do ?=0A=0AMy ethernet card ( nf= e0 ) worked always without any flaws but isn't the time=0AFreebsd should mo= ve to wifi usb hardware more consistently ?=0AAs I said Linux has had the d= rivers working for some time now.=0A=0AWhat are you waiting for ??=0A=0A=0A= =0APawe=C5=82 Gogolewski, EU, Poland
