I'll put the Linksys back in the FBSD box and look for it. Does it have another name? I can't find it on the ifconfig man page. On the XP box, the Linksys utility says that the transmit rate is 12 Mbps and the receive rate is 5.5 Mbps. When I move the Linksys NIC to the FBSD box, I get: $ ifconfig ral0 list scan SSID BSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS livingroom 00:13:10:b9:e7:d6 6 54M -93:-95 100 E I think the "54M" is what you're asking for? I looked in man ifconfig and couldn't find TX or RX so I'm guessing that you're asking about the rate at which data is passed. Thanks for your help.
