It looks like, looking at the OpenBSD source, that the code for the 8188CE is mostly in if_urtwn.c. It looks to be effectively recognition of the chipset is what is needed, the urtw driver for the 8187 chips appears to have the guts of what is needed. -- -- John M. Cooper It would be nice to see the driver for Realtek 8188CE ported to FreeBSD, actually is the only thing I need to start using FreeBSD as my main environment for development! -- Bruno Ribeiro da Silva Python/Django/Java Developer Homebrewer State Changed From-To: open->suspended Mark suspended awaiting someone to generate patches. State Changed From-To: suspended->closed Driver in FreeBSD 10. Are we sure this driver is in FreeBSD? Please see https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=203104. To my knowledge, there isn't 8188ce support. Is this not true? Hi Tony, You're right, there is no PCI driver for Realtek 8188CE in source tree, but there is USB driver for this chipset. AFAIK, there is no PCI driver in any BSD. The only I've found is source code of Linux driver (official and unofficial). I'm owner of lenovo p530i with this chipset and my dream is find or write WiFi driver for it. But I don't have experience of driver development, but I'm reading books and makes first steps. |
