TL-WN725N v3 support in urtwn(4)?



Hello,

I'm considering purchasing a TP-Link TL-WN725N USB WiFi adapter for use with NetBSD, but I have a compatibility question.

According to the urtwn(4) manual page, "TP-LINK TL-WN725N v2" is explicitly listed as supported. However, the version currently available for purchase (Amazon Japan, ASIN: B008IFXQFU) appears to be v3, which is not mentioned in the manual.

From various sources, both v2 and v3 seem to use the RTL8188EUS chipset, but I understand there can be subtle hardware or firmware differences between revisions that may affect driver compatibility.

My questions are:
1. Has anyone successfully used TL-WN725N v3 with NetBSD?
2. Is v3 expected to work with the current urtwn(4) driver, or are there known issues? 3. Would it be safer to look specifically for v2, or are there alternative USB WiFi adapters you would recommend for reliable NetBSD support?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Konoha
