Folks,
I recently purchased what I thought was a Netgear WNA1000M USB wireless
adapter, as I had read it was supported by OpenBSD. Unfortunately,
what as delivered was a Netgear WNA1000Mv2 (well, Realtek), which was
not recognised by the urtwn driver.
More in hope than expectation, I added definitions to support this
adapter in usbdevs and if_urtwn.c. I was delighted to find the patched
driver did indeed support v2 of the adapter:
urtwn0 at uhub1 port 4 "Realtek WNA1000Mv2" rev 2.00/2.00 addr 2
urtwn0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr a4:2b:8c:f0:31:2e

Is it appropriate to send this information as a suggested enhancement
