The card I am using is a Dlink with an atheros chip, this chip is only supported in current at this stage. If you are running 5.1-Current you can # man ath and it gives a list of card that use that driver > I've just moved into an apartment in which drilling and running wires is > taboo. Has anyone delved successfully into the realms of wireless > networking their FreeBSD groups? My main server is running 4.8-STABLE, and > I have a client machine running 5.1-RELEASE (which has been suspect to a > lack of driver support for its onboard NIC in FBSD anyway), but I am not > married to any of these releases and would up/downgrade if a solution was > available. I'd also prefer a Wireless-G access point and adapter solution > if possible, as opposed to the much slower B solutions available. Thanks > ~John If you wanted 802.1g you would more that likely have to upgrade to 5.1-Current > > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > Exclusive Video Premiere - Britney Spears > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" Hope this helps David Lodeiro
