I want to buy a wireless PCI adapter for a machine running FreeBSD 6.0. 
After reading the archives, man pages, etc. I realized that his is a 
tricky business. Some of the adaptors listed as supported have now a 
different chipset. For example, Netgear WG311T now has the AR5002G 
chipset and I guess this means it is no longer supported by the ath(4) 
driver. If you bought recently a wireless PCI adapter in the price 
range of the Netgear WG311T (less than $50) that was supported by the 
FreeBSD drivers (not the ndis wrapper), could you give me a shout? 
Thanks a lot! Lukas
