The card appears to be working fine. I can ping it's IP address externally, but only when fxp0 (ethernet port) is UP. I just can't seem to send data from the host. ifconfig says: wi0 is UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST fxp0 is UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST My guess is I need to configure FreeBSD to use both network devices. Any ideas? Thanks. -- Daniel Fisher To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
