Hi,

I am trying to get a TP-Link TL-WN8200ND wireless USB adapter recognized in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p7/amd64. I saw the chip (RTL8192CU) should be supported by urtwn(4), but it is not recognized at startup. I searched the forum and found Thread 58584, which I used as a starting point.

dmesg lists the adapter as

Code: 
ugen5.2: <vendor 0x2357> at usbus5

usbconfig -u 5 -a 2 dump_device_desc:

Code: 
ugen5.2: <product 0x0100 vendor 0x2357> at usbus5, cfg=1 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (500mA)

  bLength = 0x0012
  bDescriptorType = 0x0001
  bcdUSB = 0x0200
  bDeviceClass = 0x0000  <Probed by interface class>
  bDeviceSubClass = 0x0000
  bDeviceProtocol = 0x0000
  bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0040
  idVendor = 0x2357
  idProduct = 0x0100
  bcdDevice = 0x0200
  iManufacturer = 0x0001  <Realtek>
  iProduct = 0x0002  <802.11n WLAN Adapter>
  iSerialNumber = 0x0003  <00e04c000001>
  bNumConfigurations = 0x0001

/boot/loader.conf:

Code: 
if_urtwn_load="YES"
legal.realtek.license_ack=1

/etc/rc.conf:

Code: 
wlans_urtwn0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"

sysctl net.wlan.devices returns nothing.

Any ideas how to add the hardware IDs to urtwn(4) to see if it will recognize it? Any help or suggestion greatly appreciated.

P.S. As per https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/58584/#post-335531 I added the following lines in /sys/dev/usb/usbdevs and built a custom kernel:

Code: 
vendor TPLINK       0x2357   TP-Link
product   TPLINK   TLWN8200ND   0x0100   TL-WN8200ND adapter

with no success.

Thanks.
