I am trying to set up FreeNAS and don't have the flexibility to have a wired connection to my router. I don't have a PCI wifi card, instead I have a USB dongle made by Zyxel. It is based on NWD210 chip and from the FreeBSD documentation found that the 'run' driver works with it.
When I start FreeNAS and go into the shell I don't see that wireless interface with ifconfig. But if I remove the dongle I get a message saying Ralink adapter was disconnected (or something similar). Obviously the system recognizes the USB dongle as a wifi adapter, but cant seem to use it as a network interface.
I also changed the loader.conf file to load the run driver and the run firmware, but that didn't change anything.
From what I have seen thus far, wireless dongles and FreeNAS don't work. But as this is the only realistic option I have, any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
