Too much of a crapshoot, and I don't want to mess with preconfigured device nodes any more, such as Linux and FreeBSD had many years ago, and NetBSD and OpenBSD still have. > > Tom > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > > ?Question: Why is your FreeBSD WiFi not starting or dropping off? That sounds like it is a hardware issue not FreeBSD. Or bios setting maybe? Startx could be bad connection? Realtech nics can be a problem. I live in the mountains of Hawaii and we have humidity issues that cause corrosion and as a result I HAVE TO CLEAN ALL MO BOARD AND NETWORK CONNECTIONS EVERY 6 MONTHS. I also have experienced outside interference caused by military equipment or neighbors with HAM radios also interferring with WiFi. I would not blame FreeBSD. I have Linux Unix and MS equipment here on WiFi and all os's will go down if there is interference. :) ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + + http://aloha50.net - Supporting - FreeBSD 7.2 - 8.0 - 9* + < email: noc@hdk5.net > "All that's really worth doing is what we do for others."- Lewis Carrol
