Hello,
i decided to get my laptop wlan via usb because my internal device isn't
supported yet.
The usb device is a logilink WL0006 unit its vendorid is 0x0bda and the
productid says 0x8187.
My search results say that this device depends on a RTL8187 chipset.
I tried both, load the kernel module at boot time and compile kernel
withe urtw, but i get the same output at dmesg
device_attach: urtw0 attach returned 6
urtw0:<vendor 0x0bda product 0x8187, class 0/0, rev 2.00/2.00, addr 2>
on usbus3
urtw0: could not allocate USB transfers, err=USB_ERR_NO_PIPE
device_attach: urtw0 attach returned 6
im running FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p2 amd64.
What might be the reason for this error?
Thanks for all hints.
Well, I have no clue about USB.. but this smells like one of the
endpoints is 'not there'. At least I can't find any reference to
it in the Linux driver. Wanna give attached patch a shot?
Hi Bernard,
For rt287x based cards, you can try using rt28700 chipset instead of
urtw0 on
FreeBSD 8.
The former is not in the stable src tree, but could be retrieved from here:
https://gthc.org/distfiles/freebsd/rt2870_fbsd8.tar.gz
Any takers to make module rt28700 (if_rt2870) officially part of the
FreeBSD src tree?
I'm a bit confused now, shouldn't the rt2870 be supported by run(4)? On
a site-note, this is Ralink chipset not a Realtek one.
I believe this is a different implementation for RT8187 usb network
adapters than
run(4). However in my view I found urtw0 buggy, but would certainly take
a look at run(4) to
compare the results with wireless networking agaisnt the other driver
(rt28700).
Yeah, urtw(4) has a few flaws..
- urtw(4): Realtek RTL8187B/RTL8187L
- rum(4): Ralink RT2501/RT2601
- run(4): Ralink RT2700/RT2800/RT3000
So it seems the driver you've posted conflicts with run(4). From a
quick glance at it, it seems to support 11n? If so, can I talk you
into working on getting those bits merged?
Thanks!

Thanks but I'm not sure I'd be helpful there as I have very moderate
knowledge
in USB and Wifi programming... Also why is "l1n" a important feature
missing from the rt2870 driver ? I achieved very good rates with this card
without it :)
Etienne
Thanks for your fast answers!
I tryed your suggestions but only the urtw driver shows interrest in my
usb wlan device.
The patched urtw still gives the same error massage.
Could a update to 8.2 fix this issue?
