I've tried plugging one into a laptop (Dell Inspiron 5000). It is seen and recognised but if I ifconfig it the laptop hangs solid. I'd expect to be setting SSIDs and stuff but I have no idea where to look. Has anyone actually seen one of these work? Or can anyone point me at some documentation/source code? I've had this card work in with linux and W2k but I'd really like to be able to use it from a FreeBSD box or two (I'm ignoring the WL200 PCI version for the moment 'cos I've had enough of screwdrivers this week already!) I wouldn't expect WaveLan drivers to work unless some significant effort has gone into making them drive the Intersil Prism II chipset. Many thanks Ken PS pointers to drivers for the Xircom RealPort Cardbus Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56 (who thinks of these names?) (RBEM56G-100) would be nice too, although I don't care about that half as much as the WL100/Prism2 stuff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
