How do I find which 11n NICs are supported, or USB wireless adapters?

It's very difficult to find in advance what the chipset is.

Now I have Hiro H50191 USB wireless adapter, chipset RTL8191SU, driver rsu.

FreeBSD-head recognized it, but I couldn't find any networks by scanning.

Now my wireless router seems to be not working.  

I now access the Internet by plugging Ethernet cable direct from computer's Ethernet port to cable modem.

This is good for Internet access for one computer at a time, and no wireless.

I intend to try to set up again, watchful for making correct connections.

I also just ordered and received a new TP-Link wireless router and would like to try that.

But I still would want to participate in the testing of AR9271 driver when it is ready for testing.
