Any plans to > back port the code? The wi driver does support the Prism 2 chip-set, but not all cards that use that chip use the same support chips and that results in some glitches on some cards. I would suggest checking /etc/conf/pccard.conf for a particular card. If you don't see your card, try it. Use pccardc dumpcis to get the card's ID tuple and make an entry in /etc/pccard.conf that looks like the entry for the Lucent card but with the ID text from the dumpcis substituted. It's pretty obvious once you look at it. Then try it and see if it works. Be sure that a free IRQ is used by the card. You may need to use wicontrol to fix-up things like ad-hoc vs. BSS service. It will probably work. IF it does not, try posting to freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org. The people who work this hang out there. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
