Hello,
Posting and re posting isn't going to get you help any quicker if no one has that \
card there won't be any interest and wifi is badly supported on any BSD. This looks \
more of a PR issue rather a ML issue

Hi,
<br>
<br>
I have a so called "Tenda 300Mbps Mini Wireless N Adapter" (this is not the \
terribly small one). It reports itself as: <br>
<br>
urtwn0 at uhub0 port 2 configuration 1 interface 0 "Realtek 802.11n NIC" rev \
2.10/2.00 addr 2 <br>
urtwn0: MAC/BB RTL8192EU, RF 6052 2T2R, address 50:2b:73:c9:11:00
<br>
<br>
It associates sucessfully with the AP, but it can't reliaby communicate because \
OBSD reports 98% packet loss. However the same adapter works just fine with the same \
router on the same machine using NetBSD. <br>
<br>
NetBSD reports:
<br>
[ 1.809012] urtwn0 at uhub3 port 1
<br>
[ 1.809012] urtwn0: Realtek (0x0bda) 802.11n NIC \
(0x818b), rev 2.10/2.00, addr 1 <br>
[ 1.859025] urtwn0: MAC/BB RTL8192EU, RF 6052 2T2R, \
address 50:2b:73:c9:11:00 <br>
[ 1.869029] urtwn0: 1 rx pipe, 3 tx pipes
<br>
<br>
Interestingly OpenBSD thinks it is 2T2R while NBSD says it is 3T1R. <- maybe \
a bug? <br>
<br>
This is the firmware from OpenBSD:
<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 31818 Mar 20 22:17 urtwn-rtl8192eu
<br>
And this is the firmware from NetBSD:
<br>
-r--r--r-- 1 root bin 13904 May 7 14:31 urtwn-rtl8192eu
<br>
<br>
As you can see, the file size is clearly different, so I have tried to replace \
the OpenBSD firmware in /etc/firmware with the one from NetBSD, but it fails to load \
correctly: <br>
<br>
urtwn0: timeout waiting for firmware readiness
<br>
<br>
strings and file doesn't gives any hint about the content of the firmwares, so \
I'd like to know what's the difference, and if it is possible to update6replace the \
firmware in OBSD with the one from NetBSD? <br>
<br>
Thank You!
