Try adding a macro for the correct device ID to
/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs. In this file it is listed as GUILLEMOT
instead of Hercules, though.
You should be able to see the device-id with 'usbdevs -v'. You're
looking for the first hexadecimal number (preceded by 0x). The second
one is the vendor, and should be 0x06F8.
Look for this in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs:
product GUILLEMOT HWGUSB254 0xe000 HWGUSB2-54 WLAN
Then add
product GUILLEMOT HWGUSB254V2 0x???? HWGUSB2-54-V2 WLAN
Replace the ???? by the correct device ID. :-)
Add it to the usb_devno ural_devs array in
/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/if_ural.c, and rebuild your kernel.
Look for this in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/if_ural.c
{ USB_VENDOR_GUILLEMOT, USB_PRODUCT_GUILLEMOT_HWGUSB254 },
Then add
{ USB_VENDOR_GUILLEMOT, USB_PRODUCT_GUILLEMOT_HWGUSB254V2 },
Rebuild and install your kernel, reboot and try again.
