Support 0bda:818c Realtek NIC
Hello,
Long time user, first time code contributor, please be gentle.
I have a USB wireless NIC that is unsupported in the GENERIC kernel, for
which I offer a patch.
dmesg describes this as:
MAC/BB RTL8192EU, RF 6052 2T2R [MAC omitted]
usbdevs describes this as:
0bda:818c Realtek, 802.11n NIC
high speed, self powered, config 1, rev 2.00, iSerial [MAC omitted]
Following some advice I found given in a similar situation to another
person
(https://www.reddit.com/r/openbsd/comments/ujbfh0/comment/i7mx7rf/) I
was able to build a kernel for which the NIC works. Here is the patch.
I believe that only the changes to if_urtwn.c and usbdevs are manual,
and the changes to usbdevs.h and usbdevs_data.h are generated
automatically by the build process.
