ZyXEL NWD2705-EU0101F Dual-Band Wireless-LAN USB-Adapter (450Mbps)
https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00B1YJORO/
is a run(4) I think and still a few available shipping from the UK.

ugen0.4: <ZyXEL NWD2705> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) 
pwr=ON (32mA)

from dmesg after loading if_run (and runfw):
ugen0.4: <ZyXEL NWD2705> at usbus0 (disconnected)
ugen0.4: <ZyXEL NWD2705> at usbus0
run0 on uhub0
run0: <ZyXEL NWD2705, class 0/0, rev 2.00/1.01, addr 3> on usbus0
run0: MAC/BBP RT3593 (rev 0x0402), RF RT3053 (MIMO 3T3R), address 
fc:f5:28:fa:c7:e2
run0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
run0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
run0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 
24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
run0: firmware RT3071 ver. 0.33 loaded

I am not sure if run(4) does the right thing as it should support 11n as 
well.
