Hello Lwazi, Thanks for the tip. I know how to recompile a kernel but I doubt I could do such modification in the source with chances of success without knowing the internals of driver programming. ;-) Only know the basics of C. I have been watching /usr/src/dev/usb/usbdevs and it seems easy to change. Then it says that usbdevs.h will be regenerated automatically. I believe that I have to add the following line with the RTL8188FTV product ID (Realtek vendor ID is ok in the usbdevs file): product REALTEK RTL8188FTV 0xf179 Realtek RTL8188FTV The problem is to change /usr/src/dev/usb/if_urtwn.c without knowing what I am exactly doing ;-) Another thing I am thinking about is the firmware... Too few chances of success, I think. Thanks.

You need to add the id and rebuild the kernel before you test.
