I'm VERY new to freebsd. I just got an IBM Thinkpad 755ce (not my first choice for computers, but hopefully better than nothing), and I have a Lucent Tehnologies Orinoco Silver wireless card. I've read things that say people have been able to get freebsd to work with wireless, but with older versions of freebsd. Is it best for me to use freebsd 4.7-stable or is it ok to go with 5.0? Also, do I need extra drivers, etc, or should it automaticly detect the card? Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks Mable __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
