Hello, I'm trying to use Elecom WDC-433SU2M [1] possibly sold only in Japan. This dongle has Ralink RT2870 chip. It is mentioned in user's manual [2]. The manual is only available in Japanese but you can find "Ralink RT2870" in it. I confirmed output of usbconfig(8) and made a patch [3]. Its vendor id is as same as Edimax's. > ugen2.3: <product 0xb711 vendor 0x7392> at usbus2, cfg=0 md=HOST > spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (160mA) Then I succeeded to recognize the dongle with my patched kernel. > run0: flags=8803<UP,BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 2290 > ether 00:90:fe:xx:xx:xx > nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> > media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11b > status: associated > wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 > ether 00:90:fe:9e:93:38 > inet6 fe80::290:feff:fe9e:9338%wlan0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0xd > nd6 options=23<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> > media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect) > status: no carrier > ssid "" channel 1 (2412 MHz 11b) > regdomain JAPAN country JP authmode WPA1+WPA2/802.11i privacy OFF > txpower 23 bmiss 7 scanvalid 60 wme bintval 0 However, it still doen't work with following messages. > run0: timeout waiting for MCU to initialize > run0: could not load 8051 microcode I also connected another run(4) dongle WLI-UC-GNM and it works perfectly. It means I've already written if_run_load="YES and runfw_load="YES" in loader.conf What can I do to use the dongle?
