Hi Bernard,

For rt287x based cards, you can try using rt28700 chipset instead of
urtw0 on
FreeBSD 8.

The former is not in the stable src tree, but could be retrieved from here:

https://gthc.org/distfiles/freebsd/rt2870_fbsd8.tar.gz

Any takers to make module rt28700 (if_rt2870) officially part of the
FreeBSD src tree?


Thanks,

Etienne
