urtwn driver for Edimax EW-7822U WLAN nano USB Adapter

                                    Hi current@,
                                    It seems I need if_urtwn driver for a really miniature WLAN USB stick,
                                    & if_urtwn is only in current ?
                                    man 4 if_urtwn refers to ports/net/urtwn-firmware-kmod which is missing ?

                                    It took hours to search this far, is there a quicker way to find
                                    drivers that I should have taken, that could go as tips in

                                        @9 BluPhoenyx

                                        I have the same wifi dongle, Edimax EW-7811Un . The Linux
                                        kernel driver provided is RTL8192cu. It does not work
                                        properly. However, a working driver can be downloaded from
                                        Realtek: 8192cu. I'm using it now on my desktop with kernel
                                        3.20.25, Ubuntu 12.04. Has worked fine with different
                                        distros, various kernels
                                        Instructions here:

                                        The following devices are identical to the Edimax EW-7811UN:
                                            * Edimax EW-7811GLn, EW-7811Un, EW-7811UWn, GWU-H811GLn
                                            * Airlink101 AWLL5088
                                            * Sitecom WL-365
                                            * GETNET GN-521U
                                        The USB stick uses the Realtek RTL8188CUS chipset, which
                                        is supported by the kernel module rtl8192cu. This module
                                        is included in the kernel since version >= 3.0 and will be
                                        loaded automatically:

                                        If the EW-7811UN stick is used with older distributions it
                                        might be necessary to use the Edimax original drivers
                                        together with NdisWrapper.  Furthermore, one can use the
                                        original Realtek drivers.

                                    Seems for an older Linux than above, Also for 8192CU not 8192xC_USB, whatever the diference.

                                        The following adapters should work:

                                        RTL8188SU, RTL8191SU and RTL8192SU chipsets
                                        No mention of any Edimax adaptor

                                    So I need urtwn, not in
                                    http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.2R/hardware.html
                                    So I need to jump from my 9.1 [via 9.2] to current src/ 

                                    http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=urtwn-firmware-kmod&stype=all
                                        Fails, not there.
                                    Maybe urtwn shares a BLOB from rsu ?

                                    Cheers,
