Edimax EW‐7318USG not detected with ifconfig

i've been trying to get my wireless usb Edimax EW‐7318USG to work. my belkin F5D7050v3 usb wireless works and it uses the same rum driver. ifconfig shows nothing. i've tried both FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE and FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE. i'm wondering if this has anything to do with it? http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-usb/2010-January/008061.html

Those should work IF
1...you have wpa_supplicant.conf properly set up (and reboot or
the appropriate command line...)
2...the proper driver loaded
3...(the other stuff to get it working... ) ... unsure
NOT an easy process. The good news, once it works you can
be assured it will work as well as it could... just an
occaisional "dhclient wlan0" which you can alias
to something more easy to type.
And backup your configuration files of course.
 
i'm not using any wireless security on my router. my belking works with these settings by just plugging it in. the edimax uses the same driver (rum) and it wont work. 'Sysinstall' shows no devices as well.

ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"

currently using FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE amd64

i checked /sys/dev/usb/usbdevs and /sys/dev/usb/wlan/if_rum.c. neither of these have entries for the Edimax EW-7318USG.

so i added the following:

/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs
Code: 
vendor EDIMAX		0x7392	Edimax
/* Edimax products */
product EDIMAX EW7318USG	0x7318	USB Wireless dongle
/sys/dev/usb/wlan/if_rum.c
Code: 
    { USB_VP(USB_VENDOR_EDIMAX,		USB_PRODUCT_EDIMAX_EW7318USG) },

so my question is...how do i go about making these changes? rebuild the kernel? or, is none of this needed?
 
Solved

ok so today i compiled a new freebsd kernel. didn't work. then i joined an irc chat for some help. the answer was to simply recompile the rum module.

the complete steps are as follows:

STEP #1 (add the following text to usbdevs)
/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs
Code: 
vendor EDIMAX		0x7392	Edimax
/* Edimax products */
product EDIMAX EW7318USG	0x7318	USB Wireless dongle
STEP #2 (add the following text to if_rum.c)
/sys/dev/usb/wlan/if_rum.c
Code: 
    { USB_VP(USB_VENDOR_EDIMAX,		USB_PRODUCT_EDIMAX_EW7318USG) },
STEP #3 (as root)
Code: 
# cd /usr/src/sys/modules/usb/rum
# make install
