Using a Hercules HWGUSB2-54-V2 wifi usb adapter
Hi, System : 6.2-REL p4. I'm trying to use this usb wifi adapter. It is based on a Ralink RT2500 chipset and should thus be useable with the ural-device according to man ural (actually it speaks of the Hercules HWGUSB2-54, without the V2). The problem is that I only get a detection in dmesg like this : ugen0: Ralink 802.11 bg WLAN, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 3 and that I don't get a ural0 device. All the devices needed according to man ural are in the kernel too. How can I get this wifi adapter working ? Thanks for any hints/pointers. -- Beni. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Try adding a macro for the correct device ID to
/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs. In this file it is listed as GUILLEMOT
instead of Hercules, though.
You should be able to see the device-id with 'usbdevs -v'. You're
looking for the first hexadecimal number (preceded by 0x). The second
one is the vendor, and should be 0x06F8.
Look for this in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs:
product GUILLEMOT HWGUSB254 0xe000 HWGUSB2-54 WLAN
Then add
product GUILLEMOT HWGUSB254V2 0x HWGUSB2-54-V2 WLAN
Replace the by the correct device ID. :-)
Add it to the usb_devno ural_devs array in
/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/if_ural.c, and rebuild your kernel.
Look for this in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/if_ural.c
{ USB_VENDOR_GUILLEMOT, USB_PRODUCT_GUILLEMOT_HWGUSB254 },
Then add
{ USB_VENDOR_GUILLEMOT, USB_PRODUCT_GUILLEMOT_HWGUSB254V2 },
Rebuild and install your kernel, reboot and try again.

Roland,
Your explanation worked, thanks !
bsdaddict# dmesg -a | grep ural
ural0: Ralink 802.11 bg WLAN, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 3
ural0: MAC/BBP RT2570 (rev 0x00), RF unknown
ural0: Ethernet address: 00:08:d3:08:31:fd
ural0: if_start running deferred for Giant
ural0: timeout waiting for BBP/RF to wakeup

BTW, the device id is 0x010 for this usb adapter.

Good! Now the good thing to do would be to create diffs for both files, and submit them for inclusion in 6-STABLE with send-pr. That way everyone with the same hardware can enjoy them. And you'd have your first contribution to FreeBSD under your belt. :-) Roland -- R.F.Smith http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/ [plain text _non-HTML_ PGP/GnuPG encrypted/signed email much appreciated] pgp: 1A2B 477F 9970 BA3C 2914 B7CE 1277 EFB0 C321 A725 (KeyID: C321A725) pgpysVyiObSzx.pgp Description: PGP signature
