Thanks for the info.Can you tell me how to go about setting the system for pccard support?I plan to make a small testbed with a desktop and two laptops.So i also need to know how to set up for a pci card.I know the pci support is not easy and only in recent times have some ppl able to get pci cards to work on freebsd. --- Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net> wrote: > > Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2002 11:18:15 -0800 (PST) > > From: Vinod Namboodiri <geekvinod@yahoo.com> > > Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG > > > > I just got a Orinoco gold card and plan to install > it > > into my freebsd box.but the docs with it doesnt > > mention freebsd at all while it does mention > linux.But > > i know this thing works for freebsd from reading > the > > mailing lists.is there no freebsd driver supplied > with > > the product coz wi driver is already inbuilt in > the > > latest freebsd versions?or is there any other > reason > > which i am missing out? > > Nope.
