What is the state of support for USB Wi-Fi adapters in FreeBSD?
Several clients have asked me if they can use these adapters on
their BSD servers, but so far I can't find one that FreeBSD
recognizes. I have one here that's based on the Atmel chipset;
it says that it's made by Askey Computers and that its device
ID is 0x123. There's a Prism-family Wi-Fi radio in there, so
it may be that it's just a matter of glue to get the existing
Prism driver to work with it. Any ideas?
