realtek r8187 wi-fi

urtw(4) says it supports "Realtek RTL8187B/L USB IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network device". Untested by me; I'm skeptical of anything that's not Atheros, and even some things that are.

# apropos 8187 found this. It doesn't work to find everything, but usually it's worth a shot.
 
Code:
apropos 8187
REturn this:
Code:
urtw(4)                  - Realtek RTL8187B/L USB IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network device
How to enable module?

urtw(4) means there's a man page about urtw in section 4. So you do
# man urtw

The man page tells how to either build it into the kernel or just load it in /boot/loader.conf.
 
Easier to modify loader.conf like the man page says. For testing, you can just kldload(8) the module.
