X-BeenThere: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: Dominic Caffey List-Id: Mobile computing with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 17 Sep 2004 17:18:17 -0000 To Whomever may be able to help, I'm trying to do an FTP based install via my SMC wireless nic onto a Toshiba Satellite 110CT. I can't get the install off the ground because the wireless nic is not recognized and I don't see where I can load additional drivers. The 5.2.1 ver comes with a drivers flp image per the following: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.2.1-RELEASE/floppies/ but there is no drivers flp image for 5.3.X per: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.3-BETA4/floppies/ . Can I use the 5.2.1 drivers.flp image with the 5.3.X beta? I'm a newbie at this and have tried to RTFM so please be gentle. I know the hardware's ok because I did a sucessfuly ftp based install via the wireless nic onto the same laptop with Debian-Woody-Linux BUT I'd rather be running FreeBSD. Any constructive guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
