When we switched to the wifi stack ported from FreeBSD by Rui Paulo rum(4) and friends didn't get ported over. Part of the reason is that FreeBSD updated/replaced their USB stack which complicates porting. I have a rum(4) device and the aspiration to get it ported, but am currently unable to find the time to do it. If anyone has the time and motivation to port a usb wifi driver I'd be more than willing to offer any help I can give. There has been discussion of updating our USB stack but I'm not certain we want to just blindly port FreeBSD's stack. Thanks, Joe

Where I live there is a Walmart, Future Shop, and a Staples, so there are a lot of choices, I just don't know which ones are supported. Currently, we don't have a working USB wifi driver, unfortunately. I'm working on porting FreeBSD's ndis(4) support which might help, once it works, but at the moment it isn't there yet.
