I adquired some weeks ago a small USB adapter which presents itself in HEAD as: ugen4.4: at usbus4 urtwn0: on usbus4 urtwn0: MAC/BB RTL8188CUS, RF 6052 1T1R wlan0: Ethernet address: 80:1f:02:ee:16:37 I have no problems at all at my home AP (doing WPA PSK). The 'dongle' is very small, only 5-6mm are looking out of the laptop after you plug it in. The 6 euro investment ended all my searches to get the laptop's Broadcom BCM4312 working. I only encountered one problem while traveling through Italy in a hotel: They gave me a piece of paper saying "Password: "N@tur%Wieser" and I could not construct a good /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to connect correctly. I could figure out the SSID of the AP ("Naturhotel Wieserhof") and tried a lot of network={ ... } settings, nothing worked. Sometimes I could associate and got an IP addr from the AP, but only in places where the hotel said it should not work (im my room). In places where it should work (in the lobby) I could not even associate. I have a lot of wpa_supplicant debug if someone is willing to check for details. At the end I was frustated and gave up, more frustated due to the fact that all the other clients with their stupid smartphones did not have had any problem at all :-( matthias -- Matthias Apitz | /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign: E-mail: guru@unixarea.de | \ / - No HTML/RTF in E-mail WWW: http://www.unixarea.de/ | X - No proprietary attachments phone: +49-170-4527211 | / \ - Respect for open standards | en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII_Ribbon_Campaign
