Your reply would be greatly appreciated. > As far as I could find, your device is based on the Prism-2 chipset. > Linux claims to support the device with the wlan-ng driver, but as far as I > know, FreeBSD doesn't have support for it (at this moment). from man wi The wi driver provides support for wireless network adapters based around the Lucent Hermes, Intersil PRISM-II, Intersil PRISM-2.5, Intersil Prism-3, and Symbol Spectrum24 chipsets. All five chipsets provide a similar interface to the driver. however i have no idea if this includes USB adapters, the only usb wireless driver i came across (or ever looked for for that matter) for Freebsd was for Atmel based USB WLAN adapters http://vitsch.net/bsd/atuwi/ it seemed to work quite well when i tried it.
