I backed up the data and installed RELEASE, but okay, you don't have to help.
I do have one suggestion (but not directly related to the issue): start a new thread. This thread was all about the
alc0 interface on
-CURRENT. The new issue is completely different, even if you take my criticism into consideration.
Now it's about the ASUS USB-AC51 (and
if_urtwn) on 11-RELEASE. A new thread might help attract more attention which might lead up to more answers. Just my 2 cents of course.
I can give some basic advice though. Your conclusion regarding
dmesg is somewhat off. See here (omitted the
less /boot/loader.conf
command itself, it only shows (part of) the output):
Code:
# wifi drivers
if_bwn_load="YES"
bwn_v4_ucode_load="YES"
# wifi encryption
#wlan_wep_load="YES"
#wlan_ccmp_load="YES"
#wlan_tkip_load="YES"
# Bluetooth drivers
#ng_ubt_load="YES"
#ubtbcmfw_load="YES"
feliner:/home/peter $ dmesg | grep -i bwn
feliner:/home/peter $ kldstat -v | grep bwn
2 1 0xc0e7c000 3cd7c if_bwn.ko (/boot/kernel/if_bwn.ko)
2 siba_bwn/bwn
3 2 0xc0eb9000 b134 siba_bwn.ko (/boot/kernel/siba_bwn.ko)
1 pci/siba_bwn
4 1 0xc0ec5000 2bb9c bwn_v4_ucode.ko (/boot/modules/bwn_v4_ucode.ko)
3 bwn_v4_ucode_fw
Note that using
-v isn't mandatory, but doing so gives you a little bit more information. When in doubt go over the
dmesg output manually (
dmesg | less
), this is generally a lot better when trying to solve a problem than just aiming for specific snippets.
