I don't believe FreeBSD supports that chipset yet... However, you should be able to get it working using the NDIS stuff (NDISulator or Project Evil, or whatever it's called) a simple explanation is on http://www.xl0.org/FreeBSD/ndis.txt for the semi experienced. also man ndis. for more info google with ndis and freebsd, you should get plenty of info. -mark
