Disclaimer: I know nothing about NetBSD.
NetBSD's urtwn(4) man page states: Code:
FILES The driver needs the following firmware files, which are loaded when an interface is attached: /libdata/firmware/if_urtwn/rtl8188eufw.bin /libdata/firmware/if_urtwn/rtl8192cfw.bin /libdata/firmware/if_urtwn/rtl8192cfwU.bin |

Hi, and welcome to daemonforums!
I may be able to provide a small amount of help, but should start by saying I haven't used NetBSD in a few years. Also I don't have your exact USB wireless device (though my laptop has the PCI version of it). For ifconfig, it appears from the man page that nwkey is used to set a WEP password. I don't know if that's what you intended to use, probably not, but WEP is now deprecated for good reason. I recall having to use wpa_supplicant for WPA-type encryption on NetBSD ... I don't know if that's still a requirement or not. Given your firmware loading error message, the possible mistaken use of nwkey may not be the primary issue. Perhaps someone else more up-to-date on these things can weigh in. Oh, and I should add as general background, on NetBSD you may also want to familiarize with the wlanctl(8) tool . |

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I also found this guide which seems to of worked https://wiki.netbsd.org/tutorials/ho...pa_supplicant/ |

Thanks to that guide I have manage to get it working, but after awhile the wifi adapter just goes offline.
I get this message: Code:
armv7$ packet_write_wait: Connection to 192.168.0.117 port 22: Broken pipe I have tried Code:
$ apropos packet_write_wait | grep packet_write_wait I am going to look through some /etc/ files in the hope that setting is there somewhere, but otherwise I am not sure why this happens. |
