hi there :D

first many many thx for this wonderful Nas4free project !!

2. because im so happy with this whole project i want to give something "back" to the community in writing some topics..

this time the Realtec 8174-chipset->its in a lot of Wlan-usb-adapter, for example, in mine here->Logilink WL0086-300N Adapter..

now the question:

after doing a lot of research i found out that for the realtec 81XX-family theres a new driver model:

rsu - rsu -- Realtek RTL8188SU/RTL8192SU USB IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless network
device
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?quer ... ormat=html

(with this supported adapter for example : ASUS USB-N10
Belkin F7D1101 v1
D-Link DWA-131 A1
EDUP EP-MS150N(W)
Hercules HWGUn-54
Hercules HWNUm-300
Planex GW-USNano
Sitecom WL-349 v1
Sitecom WL-353
Sweex LW154
TRENDnet TEW-648UB
TRENDnet TEW-649UB )

for freebsd 10 !! and up "scheduled"..

they said something about rsu-rtl8712fw.ko which has to load via the loader.conf, but didnt work in my case because rsu is not supported in nas4free 9.1 (logic :) )..

so i had to search for a possibility in freebsd 9.1 and found : RTL8192SU Linux driver which can be downloaded via the realtec-website and after

compiling and so on (beautiful pdf btw. in the zip-package about compiling) u should get a 8712u.ko which u should "insmod" in the system...

so far so good..my little problem now is that my system can“t find "make" !?!

im relatively new to freebsd, i worked with Debian Squeeze so far, and now i cant find a way to install "make"..!! :D

any help would be very "appreciated" !! (i know this is really a noob-question)

many greets !! :D

(Edit: okay, got now "gmake" to work but the "makefile" is for other "distros" and so the path-variables in the makefile are wrong..i,we, need so a person who could make a right makefile for freebsd 9.1 (nas4free 9.1) and/or a full compiled r8712u.ko for, in my case, i386-nas4free9.1-distro..
by that i found out that "insmod" is the same as "kldload" in freebsd..)
