Looking for a wireless usb ethernet adapter

Is anyone using a wireless usb ethernet adapter in Freebsd 7.2/amd64? I've tried a Netgear WG111 and a Linksys WUSB54GC with no success. Both were recognized by dmesg but I could not find a driver that works.
 
Can you paste their dmesg entries here?

I've had success with Cisco's b/g adapter, and I've seen many positive responses about Belkin's b/g adapters.

I need to dig through /var/log/messages to find the entry for the Netgear adapter. I still have the Linksys/Cisco wusb54gc (version 3) adapter handy, here is the entry in the messages file:

Code:
Oct  4 17:28:10 omni kernel: ugen0: <Ralink 802.11 g WLAN, class 0/0, rev 2.00/1.01, addr 3> on uhub4

I ran ifconfig once the device was recognized and didn't see any ugen interfaces.
 
Hmm, your Linksys sounds the same as mine. Not sure if mine is also version 3 (manufactured 2008/11), but it works with the rum(4) driver.

So does mine. But if I'm not mistaken, there are a few different versions of this device using different chipsets.

Compatible USB wireless adapter

I recently set up a WAP on FreeBSD 7.2

After several false starts, I finally tried the Linksys WUSB54G 802.11g/b Wireless Adapter. Works like a champ - it uses the ral driver.
