I have a Belkin 11Mbps Wireless Notebook Network Adapter (F5D6020) When I insert it in my FreeBSD 6.2 laptop it identifies it as the above. But how do I get it to work in ifconfig so I can start using it? I have tried entering follwing lines in /etc/pccard.conf card "Belkin" "11Mbps Wireless Notebook Network Apapter" config auto "wi" ? 0x10000 insert /etc/pccars_ether $device start remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop But this doesnt help, the card is lit but not trying to connect. Ifconfig says nothing about it. The card works well in Ubuntu linux. Anyone knows how to make it work or what to try?

Thanks for the hint! This inspired my curiosity enough to try the boot-only image and see if it boots and runs at all, which it does perfectly! It turns out that "Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU >>>> 5130 @ 2.00GHz (2002.99-MHz 686-class CPU)" can do the 64-bit thing (note the "5130" part) [*].

It seems to me that FreeBSD probably would have a lot more support (and have it longer) for this stuff. Example equipment would be enclosures like this: - http://www.sonnettech.com/product/fusiond500p.html - http://www.sonnettech.com/product/fusiond500p-eseries.html - http://www.sonnettech.com/product/fusiond800raid.html Controller cards like this (or related, basically any eSATA card with at least 4 ports that supports port multipliers) - http://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempo_sata_x4p.html - http://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempo_sata_e4p.html I wouldn't plan on using the onboard RAID functions if I was using ZFS. I would export all the drives as JBOD to the OS. There are a lot of enclosures and a handful of controllers out there. It would be nice to know if FreeBSD has any possible options or not. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

The problem is that the OS can't see the RAID, only the 2 separate drives. As I also had problems with Ubuntu Linux recognizing RAID1 on an almost twin board, but with 2 SATA disks instead of SAS, I asked their support forum. Someone there suggested [*] that ESB2 controller used by Intel is software based, and that I must use software RAID to make use of it. I'm not sure if I should do the same with FreeBSD/SAS array too? Maybe there's a ready to go driver? Thanks.
