Recently I acquired a Compaq Evo N610C for free and decided to make the most out it by installing FreeBSD. I naturally wanted to take advantage of the USB wireless card, and found gobs of information on the net refering to Stuart Walsh's atwi(4) driver and how it worked only on -CURRENT.I installed, card was seen as a generic USB device, but it was not seen as a network interface. More searching turned up many references to atwi, none of which dated past late 2003. Nothing thusfar has worked. I haven't been able to find any documentation on atwi being implemented into the src tree, I have emailed Stu Walsh but I'm sure he's rather busy and as such received no response. I searched the -mobile and -usb freebsd mailing list archives with little success, so as a last resort, I come here. I hope the least that happens is that someone says, "Silly boy, you've been looking in all the wrong places, why don't you just do this..." and I then I get a little egg on my face and move on. Cheers, john The device is a Compaq WLAN Multiport W200. In my kernel config, I have the following enabled. (I added atuwi just for kicks, since it is the only other wireless NIC USB driver): # Wireless NIC cards device wlan # 802.11 support device atuwi device wi # WaveLAN/Intersil/Symbol 802.11 wireless NICs.
