Hello tech@,
I got an ALFA AWUS036NHR
( http://www.alfa.com.tw/products_show.php?pc=34&ps=8 )
which has a RTL8188RU chip supported by the urtwn driver.
When I plugged it in, it attached as ugen, because it has an unknown ID.
After adding the ID to usbdevs and then the name given there to
if_urtwn.c it works perfectly (transfered several GB in each direction)
on my Ultra 30.

Don't know if I did it correctly, but I think people who know have all the info
they might need.
I did make a diff for the manpage, but didn't test it/don't know if that
is all that's needed:
