All,
I have a USB Wifi adapter (MAC/BB RTL8188CUS, RF 6052 1T1R) that is
having problems initializing. I did do some poking around and updated
loader.conf (see below) but that does not seem to help. When I do and
ifconfig wlan0 I see the SSID, but not IPv4, instead I see a "driver
didn't set altq_maxlen" error. This is not a new USB adapter, maybe 3 or
4 years old. I am able to scan the networks with ifconfig wlan0 scan,
but I cannot connect to my home network (yes, the password is correct.)
Not sure what might be needed. I can post my full dmesg in paste bin if
that helps.
Some Info:
