All, 

Looking closely at the driver page I see no mention of USB support.  Still, I 
hope...  

Currently I have two systems with Broadcom wireless cards. One system runs 
32-bit and NDIS works...but no WPA support.  The other system runs 64-bit and 
NDIS won't work with the Broadcom device.

So I found a usb wireless device I believed would work (Rosewill RNX-N1 vendor 
id:148f, device id: 2870) and purchased two.  I obviously took inadequate care 
in reading the rwn web page!

I determined the vendor/device id a several ways: 

Prtconf -v 
/usr/X11/bin/scanpci 
SDD Tool 

The system automatically assigned the driver usb_mid to the device. I then 
installed the rwn driver via the dev repository (currently on snv_123).  

Next I assigned the driver to the device id:

update_drv -a -I '"usb148f,2870"' rwn 
devfsadm -i rwn 

But the driver failed to attach. 

The device's specifications sheet says it uses Chipset: Ralink 2870+ Ralink 
2820.  

The webpage with information on this product is here:

This is what the driver tool reports:

Attached is a current prtconf -v. 

And here is are the results of 'echo ::prtusb | mdb -k'

So, is there any way I can get this device working?
