need to buy a WiFi-adapter on USB... choices available so far are from = Sweex, Edimax and Hercules. Compatibility with FreeBSD is important. The Sweex is model LC100060, seems to have a Ralink RT2500 chip. On the = Edimax there is no model on the box, it's a 54Mbps model and on the box = they state they have support for Windows and Linux (mandrake, debian, = suse etc, nothing written about FreeBSD). Hercules I can order, model = unknown, 54Mbps. Prices are about the same, with the Edimax ~5euro = cheaper, but that's not important. Anybody has any experiences with any of the adapters from this company? = Driver support under FreeBSD, and known issues? would love to have = WPA-PSK support on FreeBSD, or at least WEP 128bit working. Also = hot-plugging a problem? any help is greatly appreciated, and time presses me a bit. Have got = quite some adapters for Wifi at home already (PCI, PCMCIA, CF etc) and = had issues with some of them on FreeBSD. This is the first one on USB, = want to get a safe buy :) Oh, my first thought was to go for Edimax, the cheapest, because I don't = need best quality, distance is only 3meters to the AP and no heavy = traffic... if it's working on FreeBSD... thanks alot, ANdrei http://students.oamk.fi/~t6ruan00/ ------ Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience...
