Netgear WG111V2_2 wireless USB device not configured
I wonder if anyone can spot my problem trying to bring up my Netgear WG111v2 USB wireless adapater? I've been working on this for days, and even installed 9.0 in an effort to help but I couldn't make it work.
I am currently running a fresh FreeBSD 8.1 install. It looks to me in release notes and /sys/dev/usb/usbdevs and /sys/dev/usb/wlan that the WG111v2 is supported. My Netgear WG111v2 USB wireless adapter is coming up as: Vendor 0x0846 which is BayNETGEAR Product 0x4240 which is WG111V2_2 PrismGT USB 2.0 WLAN bcddev 0x1040 chipset GW3887 But I wonder if this may require the PrismGT driver upgt rather than the standard driver urtw? It looks like the WG111V2_2 has a different chipset than the WG111 and WG111V2. Maybe it was overlooked and is actually not supported? USB adapter is being recognised as a USB device, but not as a network adapter In /var/run/dmesg.boot: Code:
ugen4.2: <GlobespanVirata> at usbus4 Code:
ugen4.2: <NETGEAR WG111 Globespan Virata> at usbus4 But it's gone back to: Code:
ugen4.2: <GlobespanVirata> at usbus4 Code:
> ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev urtw0 ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2: Device not configured Code:

I must admit it looks like upgt doesn't load now, but I thought I got upgt loaded previously and got the same 'not configured' when trying it with ifconfig: Code:
