So my system has an on/off switch in the front that is not very visible
when using the laptop. I turned it on and now usbdevs sees it.
Controller /dev/usb5:
addr 1: high speed, self powered, config 1, EHCI root hub(0x0000), ATI
Technologies(0x1002), rev 1.00
port 6 addr 3: high speed, power 500 mA, config 1,
RTL8187B_WLAN_Adapter(0x8197), Realtek(0x0bda), rev 2.00, serial
00e04c000001
Any ideas on how to get some driver to support it?
Does anyone know if ndis works with USB devices? on amd64?
