RPI3b+ running (slightly patched) netbsd-8 and using an EDIMAX 7811.

port 3 addr 5: high speed, power 500 mA, config 1, 802.11n WLAN Adapter(0x7811), Realtek(0x7392), rev 2.00(0x0200), serial 00e04c000001

Works with static IP and with dhcpcd. WiFi access point is also
Ubiquiti but with only a simple (single net) configuration.


I've heard lots of problems with urtwn, but that realtek chip seems to be
fine.
