rtl8187

[flant]

hello!
I'm newbie in FreeBSD, so how can I get my rtl8187 wifi usb card to work correctly?

Now usbconfig(8) doesn't show correct vendor, and ifconfig(8) calls it urtw0.

Probably I should to install some drivers, but where can I get them and how to use?

Why? It's already detected as urtw(4).

but

ifconfig urtw0 up scan

gives "unable to get scan results"

The last time I tried my urtw(4) card in May, it didn't work. I think there was a software regression, but don't know where.

but

ifconfig urtw0 up scan

gives "unable to get scan results"

Did you try first create wlan(4) interface?

 

[SirDice]

# ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev urtw0
# ifconfig wlan0 up scan

 

[flant]

thanks a lot!!!
My problem was in using ifconfig urtw0 create wlandev wlan0 instead )))

By the way, how can I change mode of device, like "iwconfig mode monitor"?

See ifconfig(8).

That should by

# ifconfig wlan0 up 
# ifconfig wlan0 scan
