It probably exists in the OpenBSD driver as well. Usually retrying works.
To augment this a bit: I also came across one of these dongles (vendor
0x0bda product 0x8176) that gave me this "timeout waiting for checksum

We have to reset the bit of the R92C_MCUFWDL associated with checksum

This allows them to chop and change what chip is actually in a device depending on the vagaries of their supply chain.

Re: urtwn driver for Edimax EW-7811U WLAN nano USB Adapter
Hi, Note the noise floor differences.. wonder why that is. Rui ported the uwrtn stuff, right? He may be able to help. The driver is recent and its likely there are bugs to shake out. -adrian On Oct 8, 2013 2:49 PM, "Julian H.

Re: urtwn driver for Edimax EW-7811U WLAN nano USB Adapter
I just happened to be browsing man urtwn in NetBSD-current (6.99.23), and Edimax EW-7811Un is listed as supported by this driver. This strongly suggests it should work for FreeBSD-current (barring bugs).

I got one of these (if_urtwn) and it works enough to download about a meg or so before the watchdog kicks in and I have to ifconfig down/up it to get it to respond again. I even have a patch pending to add the usb identifier for this.
