    Hi,
    I use Gemtek WL-382F USB Wireless Adapter.
    I've set the options for USB and wireless ethernet and recompiled the
    kernel.
    While plugging in the USB Wireless Adapter, it shows:

    ugen0: Atmel product 0x7605, rev.1.10/1.00, addr 2

    I noticed that the Handbook ( chap. 19.3 ) only mentioned for PCMCIA
    wireless ethernet adapter. However, I wonder if FreeBSD does support USB
    Wireless Adapter.

    Of course I failed to find any wi0 devices while typing ifconfig -a

    Any suggestion ?

    Thank you!

    Michael Lee
