Hi,
I recently purchased an ASUS PCE-N15 Wireless-N PCI-E Adapter.
http://www.asus.com/Networks/Wireless_Adapters/PCEN15/
After i installed it and restarted my computer I got this in the
dmesg (I'm assuming this is the ASUS adapter as it's the only new
device message I noticed in the logs. I'll include the full dmesg so
more knowledgeable minds can figure it out.)
pci2 at ppb1 bus 2
vendor "Realtek", unknown product 0x8178 (class network subclass miscellaneous,
rev 0x01) at pci2 dev 0 function 0 not configured
It looks to be a half card and so I'm worried that I may have bought
a win-device. Is this ASUS Adapter supported by OpenBSD, do I have a
bad card, or is this a win-device?
The only PCI based Realtek wireless that will work at the moment are the old
802.11b RTL8180 devices. In theory the register layout is largely the same
as some of the USB based Realtek devices but there isn't a driver just yet.
IC. Any recommendations for a good replacement wireless card? I've
read the list on the FAQ, but my experience in wireless cards is
(besides the ASUS card) practically nil.
Should I just hang on to the ASUS and see what happens with
subsequent snapshots?
Of course, I could just do both....
