Realtek RTL8188CU/RTL8192CU USB IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless cards.
This driver requires microcode which is available in FreeBSD ports:
net/urtwn-firmware-kmod.
Hiren ported the urtwn(4) man page from OpenBSD and Glen just commited a port
for the firmware.
TODO:
- 802.11n support
- Stability fixes - the driver can sustain lots of traffic but has trouble
coping with simultaneous iperf sessions.
- fix debugging

debug files for userland programs and libraries. The "-g" debug flag
is automatically applied when WITH_DEBUG_FILES is set.
The debug files are now named ${prog}.debug and ${shlib}.debug for
consistency with other systems and documentation. In addition they are
installed under /usr/lib/debug, to simplify the process of installing
them if needed after a crash. Users of bsd.{prog,lib}.mk outside of the
base system place the standalone debug files in a .debug subdirectory.
GDB automatically searches both of these directories for standalone
debug files.
Thanks to everyone who contributed changes, review, and testing during
development.
The build system is really intricate and I had a hard time to remind the
whole picture even when reading my own words. This one will hopefully
be better.

specified by passing the XCC, XCXX, and XCPP variables (corresponding to
CC, CXX, and CPP) to buildworld/buildkernel. The compiler must be clang
or be configured to target the appropriate architecture.
To speed build times, if XCC is an absolute path or
WITHOUT_CROSS_COMPILER is defined then no cross compiler will be built
during the cross-tools stage.
Limited documentation of this feature can currently be found at:

This functionality should be considered experimental and is subject to
change without notice.

The NTB allows you to connect two systems with this device using a PCI-e
link. The driver is made of two modules:
- ntb_hw which is a basic hardware abstraction layer for the device.
- if_ntb which implements the ntb network device and the communication
protocol.
The driver is limited at the moment to CPU memcpy instead of using DMA, and
only Back-to-Back mode is supported. Also the network device isn't full
featured yet. These changes will be coming soon. The DMA change will also
bring in the ioat driver from the project branch it is on now.
This is an initial port of the GPL/BSD Linux driver contributed by Jon Mason
from Intel. Any bugs are my contributions.
