(www.defcon1.org is the source) What I am trying to do is set up a USB Wheel Mouse (actually it is a wireless mouse/keyboard ) with FreeBSD 5.2. FreeBSD recognizes the keyboard just fine (the wireless hub for the keyboard & mouse attaches to a usb port). Is there anything that I need to do differently. Does your mouse show in the system's boot messages? You can view these messages with the dmesg command. Lines concerning a USB mouse should show as lines beginning with umse. Also, what does the usbdevs command show? > Also how do a customize the kernel ( I need to add the Atheros driver for my wireless PCI ethernet card). Thank you for your time and assistance. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html The FreeBSD Handbook is your bible for learning the system :) Good Luck Andrew
