That doesn't make any sense. I think what you mean is anything less than $75 would be acceptable; however, a price below $50 would be advantageous. I think you should be aware of the fact that you get what you pay for. Cheap, aka "low end" cards often work poorly. For a relatively few dollars more, a far superior card can usually be purchased. Whether or no FreeBSD can fully utilize a higher end device is another matter entirely. I have several PCs with high quality wireless "N" cards that FreeBSD doesn't have a clue about. -- Jerry ✌ jerry+fbsd@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or ignored.
