Message-ID: <20020423125837.M81005-100000@harlie.bfd.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I was searching around last weekend for information on inexpensive wireless solutions, and found a comment in a message a month or two old saying that the DWL-520 would be supported soon, as a minor piece or two needed to be imported. Unfortunately, I can't find the original message now, so I can't go back to the author and confirm whether or not this has happened since the original message. Judging by the source if_wi.[ch] source code in the 4.5-STABLE I'm running, it should support the native PCI prism chipsets, which I believe is what the DWL-520 uses, , but this is a little bit too much speculation for me to spend money on without any confirmation. If money weren't an object, I'd hire someone to put in some conduit and lay CAT-5. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
