It depends on revision of these cards because f.ex. DWA130 has 5 revisions from A(no rev number) to E and they're using different chipsets inside. As an example information from net8192su.inf: %DWA-130C2.DeviceDesc% = RTL8192su.ndi, USB\VID_07D1&PID_3302 %DWA-130E1.DeviceDesc% = RTL8192su.ndi, USB\VID_07D1&PID_3300 %DWA-131A1.DeviceDesc% = RTL8192su.ndi, USB\VID_07D1&PID_3303 I don't know this chipset and if it's supported by any driver. Looking for the Netgear it looks that it's Marvell 88W8361 and it's rather not supported by FreeBSD. Atleast man(8) mwl says that only 88W8363 is supported. Regards, Maciek
