OK, you have a PCIe card.
VendorID=0x1814 and ProductID=0x0781
Wait a second and i will update my driver.

OK, i updated the driver, you can try it again
and provide feedback. I could not test my driver with this device
so there is a possibility that some problems can occur.

Hm, did you modified your rc.conf as i said and of cause you need to configure your wpa_supplicant. Did you do this ?

PS: you can write to my ICQ account and i can help you faster.
 
Just one suggestion:
Could you please re-name the driver?
It is really odd to have device names with more that one digit at the end...
 
I have started to port my rt2870 device driver to FreeBSD 8.
I think in 2 days you can test the first working version.

:e :e :e
 
OK Then I guess I have to upgrade to BSD 8 :)
But still wondering about the Access point mode of your driver?
Is it supporter or for now you are just makeing it for client modes?

Don't worry, i will support both FreeBSD 7.2 and FreeBSD 8.
FreeBSD 8 version of rt2860 device driver is not better than
FreeBSD 7.2 version of the driver. But FreeBSD 8 supoorts VAPs
and rt2860 chip supports 8 VAPs in hardware, so if you want to
use the newest 802.11 stack features then upgrade to FreeBSD 8.
:)

And yes, i will try to make AP mode working in the next days.

Questions

Hi,

@ egorenar I compiled your driver & can kldload it but i dont get any device in my ifconfig, dmesg shows insertion of ugen device, my usb wifi stick is Edimax EW-7711UTn. Any ideas ?

@ PseudoCylon, I compiled your drivers too, can get them to load & can see run0 device, Are you planning on adding h/w encryption ? as i'm having troubles with wpa_supplicant, i can get it working ok without encryption. I'm using PC-BSD gallileo which is 7.2 based.

The thread is hard to follow at times as it also contains posts relating to other RT chips & drivers.

But all good stuff.
 
Hi dDMC

My driver for 7.2 doesn't support any encryption. (updated on Jan 09, 2010: but, now it supports. Please see the first post for details.) Since I already upgraded to 8.0, there won't be any update on driver for 7.2. Once they upgrade PC-BSD to 8, my driver should work.

I'm still tweaking the driver for 8.0 and current. Update is coming.

Hi,

i need USB vendor and product IDs of your device.
So i can add them to my driver.

Try "lsusb -vv" and post here the IDs.

If you have the device (0x7392,0x7718) or (0x7392,0x7717) then you are lucky
and my driver should support it. :)

7392:7711 means you have rt3070 chip in your device and my driver doesn't support this chip.


:e :e :e
 
PseudoCylon, is it still possible to run wpa_supplicant on top of the run0 interface ?

I've been trying WPA-PSK & TKIP but get a IOCTL SIOCS80211 op19 len 60 invalid argument error.
 
Good news guys :)
I ported the first version of rt2870 device driver to FreeBSD 8.
It is not very stable yet but hardware encryption works (WEP, TKIP, AES). I will try to make it stable and then upload it here.

:e :e :e

That's because the driver doesn't support any encryption.

But, I have fixed the driver. It is just a band-aid fix, but it handles h/w encryption (WEP 1/2 AES/TKIP). So, wpa_supplicant should work with fixed driver, now.

Hope this is good enough while waiting for PC-BSD 8 release. One for 8 and current is solid one. If your device runs on my driver, it will most definitely run on 8's, too. No need for searching the driver.

How to use
just replace the if_run.c then compile and load.
no need to do any thing with firmware (runfw) not even unloading it if it's already loaded.

Or go to the first post for the latest update.

I promised rt2870 device driver for FreeBSD 8 and here it is.
It is quite stable now. I tested TKIP and AES hardware encryption
and QoS works fine. AP mode is still not working, trying to make it work :)
Please send me your bug reports and feedback.
I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Currently surfing with it on FreeBSD 8 :)

Installation:

1. Extract archive
2. run "make"
3. Load rt2870.ko module with kldload

Have fun.

Hi, i have good news for you. I implemented AP mode for rt2860 and rt2870 chip devices and first tests were successfull. I could associate with AP and AES works :e It is the first working version
with AP mode and i will try to test it more before i upload it here. So be patient :)
Association, authentication and WPA handshake works !!! :)

:e :e :e
 
Here is the rt2870 device driver with HOSTAP mode :e
Please test it and report back any bugs and problems.
I only tested association and WPA handshake.
DHCPD works also.
First tests were very good :)
Thanks for feedback in advance.


19.12.2009
Fixed bug in HOSTAP mode with association id == 0

I tested the driver now and it is quite stable, could download large files in HOSTAP mode :)

:e :e :e

Is this normal???
Click to expand...

Do you compile on FreeBSD 7.2. Because this version is for FreeBSD 8 :)
 
And here is the rt2860 device driver for FreeBSD 8 with HOSTAP mode
and interrupt mitigation to improve performance :)

Please send your feedback to me and bug reports. Thanks.

Fixed bug in HOSTAP mode with association id == 0
