Hello,
I am trying to get my on-board Realtek 8176 wireless adapter working.
I searched fruitlessly for a 'Realtek 8176 driver', and came across a post on a forum declaring that this chipset actually used the driver for 8188CE. (Which actually exists)
Apparently this driver is actually the same as for 8192CE, also. (Possible problem here?)
Anyway, I installed the 8188CE driver for several of the variants, and nothing happened (no dmesg, no ifconfig, etc; ndis and if_ndis are loaded). Then I tried the WinX64 variant, and this seems to have crashed the system:
I have no experience with this sort of situation, but I'd guess that resolving this problem would improve FreeBSD somehow, or something. So I am at your disposal, and thanks in advance for any help.
If it's relevant, I'm running a largely unpatched 8.3-RELEASE, amd64 edition. Let me know if any other info is needed.
