Subject:   SanDisk CF+WiFi SDWCFB-128 on FreeBSD?
Message-ID:  <00bd01c657be$a8bb5590$6400a8c0@Rage>

anyone having any experience/ideas on using a SanDisk ConnectPlus low =
power WiFi Card (includes also 128MB of memory, but I'm not interested =
in the memory) on FreeBSD 6? Laptop is a FujitsuSiemens LifeBook, but =
that shouldn't matter, and it will be used with the original CF-PCMCIA =
Adapter. Card is 802.11b, WEP would be nice but not 100% needed.

I have no idea what chipset the card has (the SD from SanDisk seems to =
have Prism/Prism2??), but it works perfectly on Windows XP Professional =
(though I have some problems with WEP sometimes...) and Windows =
PocketPc. Part number is SDWCFB-128, H/W 1.0, F/W 1.7.4... I would try =
ndisulator, but have no idea what files to use from this weird driver it =
has....

Any info would be greatly appreciated, as googling didn't help much in =
more than 1h... I would love to experiment myself, but I need it to work =
and to be sure it works before deleting my Windows and going to FreeBSD =
this time, as I'm very low on HDD space and the Laptop *has* to work for =
me these days :)
Linux would be the next option, but I have no info on this card there =
also, and first of all I'm not so fond of Linux, haven't been using =
another Unix-alike than FreeBSD and Solaris in the last 3 years...

tks alot,
ANdrei

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down
