Hi,

specifically which model you have? You can find out via `ddu` or 
`prtconf -v`.

Though, looking at illumos HCL (http://illumos.org/hcl/) it seems that 
from the RTL81XX family (judging by the FreeBSD 'urtwn' driver you 
mentioned), only RTL8180L 802.11b is supported.

Firmware is delivered alongside the kernel driver and loaded automatically.
