Just found this thread, This is EPIC news!! :h At last I can continue my quest to run FreeBSD 8 on my EeePC 901 (RT2860).
Many thanks for your hard work, I (and many others I'm sure) appreciate it. As soon as I get a chance I'll give it a go and report back.

Hi,
here
http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=7010&page=3
you can find native FreeBSD 7.2 and 8 drivers for this chip.
With hardware encryption :-)
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...
Hi,
here are the drivers for rt2860 and rt2870 with HOSTAP mode !!!
30.12.2009
Improved interrupt handling.
Added more statistic counters (use "sysctl -a | grep dev.rt2860 ").
06.01.2010
Fixed a bug in rt2860_io_mac_write_multi (rt2860_fbsd72)
09.01.2010
Fixed bug, LOCKING...
Any idea when this might happen? My Asus Eee PC 1000 is effectively a paperweight until the wireless works, as the places I need to use it don't have wired ethernet. :-(
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...
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.
It can find the device now
when I klkload, I get these message in dmesg
# kldload ./rt28600.ko
rt28600: <RT2790 PCIe> mem 0xfbef0000-0xfbefffff irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci1
rt28600: attaching
rt28600: EEPROM rev=0x0102
rt28600: EEPROM mac address=00:22:43:42:25:27
rt28600: EEPROM RF...
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.
:e
My driver currently works only for Linksys WMP600N.
I need PCI vendor and product ID of your card so
my driver could identify it and automatically load.
Try lspci -v and provide me with PCI IDs.
And in 5 minutes you can test it again.
:e
I have done # kldload ./rt2860.ko
# kldstat
Id Refs Address Size Name
1 9 0xc0400000 760d70 kernel
2 1 0xc0b61000 52dc ums.ko
5 1 0xcb27f000 12000 rt2860.ko
but nothing happened
rt28600 has not been found
What else should I do ?
Here is the first version of rt2860 device driver for FreeBSD 8.
It is stable and works fine on my very old PC with P4 2.5GHz.
Please test it and provide feedback.
You should deactivate bgscan with "ifconfig wlan0 -bgscan"
because it causes some problems.
Installation instruction:
1...
I have good news, guys.
rt2860 STA mode with hardware encryption is working on FreeBSD 8.
:e :e :e
I ported the first version and writing this post with rt2860 driver on FreeBSD 8.
I will improve it in the next days and then you can test it
by yourself.
I installed FreeBSD 8.0 today and started to port rt2860 device driver. Monitor mode is already working :e
I will try to make STA mode work on this weekend.
The problem is that the NIC generates an interrupt for every received or sent packet !!! I could count the interrupts with "vmstat -i" and rt2860 generates as many interrupts as system timer interrupt !!! I guess i need to do interrupt mitigation. How do i do it on FreeBSD, has somebody any...
Hi, i have finally implemented frame transmission for rt2860 chip.
Please test it and provide feedback. Thanks.
