pfSense

The run driver for a common 11n Ralink chipset casues severe system instability and kernel crashes. I have tested that with 2 different Tenda W322U USB wireless adapters and on 2 different 32bit x86 systems running pfsense 2.0.1. The crashes seem somewhat wireless traffic related. In some cases the system didn't even reboot, and I had to scrape for monitor/keyboard for the headless box.

The same crash occurs with a D-Link DWL-G122 HW Ver C1, IC: 4216A-WLG122C1, which has a Rlink chipset too but only a 11g one.

Within the last week I have submitted about half a dozen crash reports via the pfsense web interface.

The problems and crashes are identical to the ones reported here, for a different adapter and sometimes older pfsense versions:

There is also mention of this driver with chipsets is a recommended model.

Well I have a very clear recommendation for anything using the run driver and pfsense 2.0.1: It's totally useless, and actually worse then useless.

Please consider updating the current hardware recommendation/compatibility list, sying that anything supported by the run driver currently won't work.
