First, i'd recommend reading the manpage for setting up a new NIC
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO...ork-setup.html

And to begin you need to find the right driver..
from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/re...E/HARDWARE.TXT:
Quote:
[i386,amd64] The ral(4) driver supports PCI/CardBus wireless
adapters based on the Ralink Technology RT2500, RT2501, and RT2600
chipsets, including:

* A-Link WL54H

* A-Link WL54PC
This driver may not provide support for your WL54USB chipset and if so there may be an appropriate driver included on the CD with your chipset. Once it shows up in ifconfig you can configure the network settings. Good luck.

Edit: Fixed link
