Wanna give attached patch a shot? > Hi Bernard, For rt287x based cards, you can try using rt28700 chipset instead of urtw0 on FreeBSD 8. The former is not in the stable src tree, but could be retrieved from here: https://gthc.org/distfiles/freebsd/rt2870_fbsd8.tar.gz Any takers to make module rt28700 (if_rt2870) officially part of the FreeBSD src tree?
