NetBSD/FreeBSD and TP-Link TL-WN727N: Second encounter

1

First part at NetBSD and TP-Link TL-WN727N (Atheros AR9271 or Ralink RT5370)

So, I've installed NetBSD 7 and device shown again as ugen(ugein, lol).

ugen0 at uhub4 port 8 
ugen0: Mediatek 802.11 n WLAN, rev 2.01/00, addr 2

Then I'm installed FreeBSD 10.2 and ugen again.

usbconfig gives me ugen4.3: <product 0x7601 vendor 0x148f> at usbus4, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH(480Mbps) pwr=ON (90ma)

So, what's next? Buying new dongle is a last thing, which I'll make.

UPD: NDIS driver not works.

FreeBSD:

I think your device might be supported by the run(4) driver. Maybe only the usb ID are missing in the FreeBSD driver. Try posting to the freebsd-usb@FreeBSD.org mailinglist.

If it is not supported, you might use the windows driver together with the ndis(4) wrapper.

This device has no support by any driver, including NDIS. Problem caused just because new version of chip presenting self to system as Mediatek, not as Ralink.

So, anything can be done now — writing to developers. I'll give this stick to my friend with Windows and then shall research ways to use 3G-modem directly or Ethernet.
