Hello list,
I bought a TEW-424UB usb wireless adapter to use with my landisk
(Plextor EH40L). I recommend that you go out and get one of these. In
Canada, TigerDirect.ca has the 400GB model for $315CDN after rebate.
The supported hardware list indicates that the TEW-424UB is supported
but that it uses the ZyDAS ZD1211 chipset.
I have rev 3.0 of the hardware which as it turns out uses the Realtek
RTL8187B chipset.
At present, this does not appear to be supported. Here is what I see
upon device insertion:
ugen0 at uhub2 port 1
ugen0: Realtek RTL8187B_WLAN_Adapte, rev 2.00/2.00, addr 2
More info on the chip and a Linux driver is available here
http://www.realtek.com.tw/search/default.aspx?keyword=rtl8187b
Is anyone working on a driver for this device?
Will access to hardware help?
Cheers,
/Jason
