FreeBSD Version : 6.0 - RELEASE
Laptop : AMD 64 laptop
Wireless Adapter: Belkin F5D7050 Wireless G USB Network Adapter, 802.11g
I am trying to make the Belkin Adapter work on my Laptop but without any
success.
As per the Handbook and other sources this adapter should work with ural driver
and this device
should show as ural0 in my dmesg output but it does not instead it shows as
ugen0: Belkin USB2.0 WLAN, rev 2.00/48.10, addr 2
I have recompiled the kernel with the following
device ehci
device uhci
device ohci
device usb
device ural
device wlan
In fact the GENERIC kernel config had all these uncommented so I did not have
to change it at all but I compiled it anyway by copying GENERIC to WIRELESS and
then buildkernel and installkernel.
As per the Handbook I expect to see
# ifconfig -a
wi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::202:2dff:fe2d:c938%wi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x7

but my ifconfig -a lists

inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
What am I missing? Please suggest another USB wireless g adapter if that will
work. Model # of the adapter will be appreciated.
My laptop has a builtin wireless (BROADCOM) but I guess it wont work with
FreeBSD.
My dmesg output can be found here if required.
