One of PC peripheral parts makers BUFFALO (a.k.a Melco) sells USB-base Wifi client called "WLI-UC-GN" that's cheap and reasonable to change old-PC to Wifi-able PC. http://buffalo.jp/products/catalog/network/wli-uc-gn/ And we have its entry in sys/dev/usb/usbdevs already. % grep WLI-UC-GN /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs product MELCO WLIUCGN 0x015d WLI-UC-GN % I don't know well the policy of usbdevs file entry, so please tell me if you know something around this topics. A FreeBSD user using WLI-UC-GN realized that it has another idProduct number of usbdevs. He says it has 0x014f. For test, he bought another "WLI-UC-GN" device and found that it says it has 0x015d. Fortunately I have "WLI-UC-GN", and my device's idProduct is 0x015d. >From some reports, it seems that early model of "WLI-UC-GN" has 0x014f, and after BUFFALO changed its chip and it says 0x015d. In this case, what should we do? Can we insert a line as follow to sys/dev/usb/usbdevs or not? product MELCO WLIUCGN 0x014f WLI-UC-GN -- Daichi GOTO
