ural driver , Belkin F5D7050 USB not working..

[Rakesh Prajapati]

FreeBSD Version : 6.0 - RELEASE
Laptop        : AMD 64 laptop
Wireless Adapter: Belkin F5D7050 Wireless G USB Network Adapter, 802.11g

I am trying to make the Belkin Adapter work on my Laptop but without any success.

As per the Handbook and other sources this adapter should work with ural driver and this device
should show as ural0 in my dmesg output but it does not instead it shows as 

ugen0: Belkin USB2.0 WLAN, rev 2.00/48.10, addr 2


I have recompiled the kernel with the following 

       device ehci
       device uhci
       device ohci
       device usb
       device ural
       device wlan

In fact the GENERIC kernel config had all these uncommented so I did not have to change it at all but I compiled it anyway by copying GENERIC to WIRELESS and then buildkernel and installkernel.

As per the Handbook I expect to see

# ifconfig -a
wi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet6 fe80::202:2dff:fe2d:c938%wi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x7
        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 255.255.255.255
        ether 00:09:2d:2d:c9:50
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/2Mbps)
        status: no carrier
        ssid ""
        stationname "FreeBSD Wireless node"
        channel 10 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100
        wepmode OFF weptxkey 1

but my ifconfig -a lists

vr0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
    inet6 fe80::203:25ff:fe10:8327%vr0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1

    ether 00:03:25:10:83:27
    media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
    status: active

    options=8<VLAN_MTU>
    ether 02:03:25:00:43:96
    ch 1 dma -1
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
    inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 
    inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 
    inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 


What am I missing? Please suggest another USB wireless g adapter if that will work. Model # of the adapter will be appreciated.

My laptop has a builtin wireless (BROADCOM) but I guess it wont work with FreeBSD.

My dmesg output can be found here if required.

You input is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rakesh
