Does FreeBSD 4.2 support it? > Thanks! The Orinoco WaveLAN IEEE Bronze, Silver and Gold cards are well supported by the wi driver. If PCMCIA is configured correctly on your machine to know what resources, irqs and i/o ports, are available and running then the WaveLAN card should just work when you plug the card. You will need to familiarize yourself with wicontrol to set the parameter so you can use your network. If you wish to use IBSS mode you will want to update the firmware on your card to the latest (7.28) using the software from Lucent and a Windows box. -- Chris Hilton chilton-at-vindaloo-dot-com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "All I was doing was trying to get home from work!" -- Rosa Parks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
