Is there any cheap equipment available for testing? I can test packages/patches on my system (FreeBSD-12.0-RELEASE). And can provide necessary hardware information. Ok, but it could be long process... Please provide dmesg command output pciconf -lvbce command output devinfo -vr command output I will be more than happy to provide all necessary info. Kindly check following link for 'devinfo' https://pastebin.com/aXGDJTx7 and following link for 'dmesg' https://pastebin.com/aXGDJTx7 and following link for 'pciconf' https://pastebin.com/eGuJjr8t Thanks! I see ral0 is in outputs. OK, please share output of /etc/rc.conf. Also, try following command (called "clone"): ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ral0 Thanks! It is working now. The system has recognized the wireless card and showing as 'wlan0' in 'ifconfig' output. Is it possible to make this detection process automatic in future FreeBSD releases? Thanks Please check: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-wireless.html All network cards are not visible in ifconfig output. To configure wlan interface, you can use rc.conf (best way) or manual (mostly for troubleshooting). I agree that it's not-friendly way, but it's better than was before. Automatic cloning of WLAN devices is good idea, so if you can drive it further, please send email with idea to freebsd-wireless mailing list (https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-wireless) As well, your card PCI ID is missing in if_ral_pci.c. It's easy to add it if you can provide patch (optionally) and test results (mandatory). If card works fine, I will commit your card support into source code. Thank you! Thanks for reply. Yes, kindly add my card to if_ral_pci.c file. I can test and provide whatever information you need. Just let me know what you need. Patch is published on reviews.freebsd.org: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D21604 Please check it, compile, test and use device during day. The most interesting tests are: - stability. Is it working fine during day (no hangs, no drops, no network lost) - supported mode. I expect 11b and 11g works fine, 11n - may be not. Please provide which modes work. - network speed. Please measure it as you can. If you're familiar with iperf, please use iperf. If not, you can use online services like fast.com. Thanks! There is an issue: Before reporting this bug, I created a thread at (forums.freebsds.org) Here at following message: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/ralink-rt5390r-wifi-in-freebsd.72224/#post-438740 "T-Daemon" asked me to manually put: { 0x1814, 0x539b, "Ralink Technology RT5392R" }, in /usr/src/sys/dev/ral/if_ral_pci.c and build kernel "make -j4 kernel, which I did. So, my question is: as I have put this entry manually, will the patch be effective any more? Don't apply patch, please proceed with testing :) Kindly give me required commands, and I will post their outputs. Stability is good. I am now connected to internet for 3-4 hours without any disconnection. Speed is good, downloading file at maximum speed (of my network) of 450KB/s. fast.com says my internet speed is 3.5MB/sec. "supported mode. I expect 11b and 11g works fine, 11n - may be not. Please provide which modes work." Kindly guide me that how can I check it? Thanks Thank you! Committed into head under revision 352260, MFC after 5 days. what about the other test about "11b and 11g". Don't I have to provide data about these also? Thanks Please check following link: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/dev/ral/if_ral_pci.c?view=markup&pathrev=352260#l104 It mentions following code: { 0x1814, 0x539f, "Ralink Technology RT5390" }, However, my discussion in following thread: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/ralink-rt5390r-wifi-in-freebsd.72224/#post-440002 shows that the suggested code (by a developer) is following: { 0x1814, 0x539b, "Ralink Technology RT5390R" } Kindly look into this. The wifi card stops working after every system update. Then I have to recompile kernel by:
make -j4 kernel
to compile:
{ 0x1814, 0x539b, "Ralink Technology RT5390R" }
So, I think correct code needs to be inserted in:
/usr/sr/sys/dev/ral/if_ral_pci.c
