I have a Trendnet TEW-684UB wireless dual-band USB adapter. Googling around for awhile leads me to believe that this probably contains an Ralink RT3572 chipset. Further googling also leads me to believe that a version of the run(4) driver which should support this chipset was comitted some considerable time ago. Can anyone confirm either or both of these two impressions? Does the TEW-684UB contain an Ralink RT3572? Is support for that chipset present in 9.1-RELEASE? If the answer to both of the above is "yes", then where might I find a "HOW TO" sort of doc which might help me to get this running? I've already added the following lines to /boot/loader.conf and rebooted: if_run_load="YES" runfw_load="YES" but apparently to no avail. After adding the above two lines to loader.conf and rebooting, shouldn't the device thenceforth appear in the output of "ifconfig -a" ? (Mine does not.)
