-- Update on Jan 29, 2010 --
The run(4) driver has been committed to FreeBSD 9-CURRENT.
The driver works with
RT2700U == RT2770 MAC/BBP + RT2720 (1T2R) or RT2750 (dual-band 1T2R) radio
RT2800U == RT2870 MAC/BBP + RT2820 (2T3R) or RT2850 (dual-band 2T3R) radio
RT3000U == RT3070 MAC/BBP + RT3020 (1T1R), RT3021 (1T2R) or RT3022 (2T2R) single-band radio
list of known devices are posted at thread
#3
...
The driver is included in 8.1-RELEASE.
For the latest development (11n support), try following files.
for 9-CURRENT rev 211314 or newer,
11n_beta2
for 8.1-RELEASE and 9-CURRENT older than rev 211314
8.1_REL
for 8.0-RELEASE users
8.0_REL_eos,
or
run-8.0-REL_final.tar.bz2 << You can click this.
Support for this release has been ended. Please upgrade to 8.1 if practical.
[NB]
Under heavy traffic, Tx may stall. If you experience this issue, please apply
patches for EHCI-hangs.
You need to re-build kernel, but with KERNFAST,
# make buildkernel KERNCONF=[i]YOUR_CONF[/i] KERNFAST=1
it should take only a few minutes.
Patched files,
sys/dev/usb/controller/ehci.h and
sys/dev/usb/controller/ehci.c, are included in
8.1_REL version.
for 7.2 users View attachment 739 << You can click this.
The final version
I have upgraded all my boxes to 8.0 or CURRENT, so I cannot do anything for 7.2 driver. "Final" means no more update, not complete. But it supports STA mode and h/w encryption. Hope this is good enough until upgrading to 8.
Thank you for testing and reporting problems.

Hello every one!
I'm porting run (ru'N' not ru'M') driver View attachment 426, and I've made it work (-encryption). Actually, I'm posting this by using that driver. You can find a list of supported devices here.
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man....anpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=amd64&format=html
It hasn't support encryption yet and has some issues, but I thought it is better than nothing and decided to share. If anyone want to try it out, download tar ball and read README in it.
I'm planning to make encryption work. But, I am an ex-MECHANICAL engineer and I installed very first FreeBSD little over a year ago. So, don't expect too much. It will take several weeks. Or, you can help me out.

Now, the driver for CURRENT (and 8 RC) is available at thread #28 (One posted here is for 7.)

Some packet loss/drop and memory leak were identified and fixed. (The perfomance has been improved, too.) Details are on RELEASE_NOTES included.
For those wondering about HOSTAP support, here is the word from the original author. (If you don't know who he is, check how many wireless drivers he has written.)

I was looking forward to HOSTAP mode by myself. I might play with it, but don't hope for miracles.
