How about PC-Card style, like the Link Sys Dual-Band Wireless-N Express Card? Too new? As a rule, are PC-Card adaptors more compatible with FreeBSD? I've only tried one, but I suspect the best supported cards will be of the 11b/g variety. I can personally vouch for the Linksys Compact Wireless-G (WUSB54GC) adapter to work perfectly with the rum(4) driver. > How will network selection work? In 7.1 I just edit my /etc/rc.conf and reboot, but I need a more user friendly UI. Why not use ifconfig(8) and wpa_supplicant(8)? Regards, Aragon
