I've installed on my FreeBSD and it seems to work well, better than ndis.

Using ndis before, I had sometimes timeouts in the browser.

I've followed this procedure:

Code:

# tar xvzf driver.tar.gz
# cd driver
# make

# cp rt2860.ko /boot/kernel/
# cp rt2860.ko.symbols /boot/kernel/

# kldload rt2860

add in /boot/loader.conf the following line:

Code:

rt2870_load="YES"

Thank you all for your advices.

As a newcomer to freebsd FreeBSD system, I'd like to know how to install rt2860 driver on a FreeNAS 7.2 system which is based on Freebsd FreeBSD 9 release.

Is there a tutorial I can follow?

Thank you in advance for your answers.
