Maybe, maybe not. Wireless support is finicky at best. The technology & industry surrounding it is not yet mature -- especially when compared to Ethernet.

Why people in this forum, not all the people, but some of them are so secretive befuddles me.
No one has all the answers. I also suspect that no one has a utrw(4) device, so no one can speak from direct experience. That leaves us to reading the manpages & searching the misc@ mailing list just like you should be doing yourself. Even the utrw(4) manpage states the following:
Code:
HARDWARE
     The following adapters should work:

           Alfa AWUS036H
           ASUS P5B Deluxe
           Belkin F5D7050E
           Linksys WUSB54GC v2
           Netgear WG111v2
           Netgear WG111v3
           Shuttle XPC Accessory PN20
           Sitecom WL-168
           Sitecom WL-168 v4
           Surecom EP-9001-g rev 2A
           TRENDnet TEW-424UB V3.xR
Yet, to help you resolve this matter one way or another (which may or may not lead to a fruitful conclusion...), begin productive & tangible discussion by:
  • stating what device you have -- manufacturer, model, etc.
  • providing complete dmesg(8) output with the device attached.
