[-- Attachment #1 --] I'm fairly new to the FreeBSD world, although I've used Solaris and Linux for the last 10 years or so. I just installed 4.5 on my laptop (Toshiba Tecra 8000 - latest BIOS). Everything seemed to work well out of the box. On boot up, my SMC 2632W wirless NIC is properly identified and assigned to the wi0 interface. When I attempt to ifconfig it, it accepts the IP address and mask, and appears to communicate with the access point. When I attempt to ping another host on my network, I get: "wi0: watchdog timeout". I've looked throught the archives a little bit, and saw a similar post that recommended upgrading the firmware on the card. I tried that, but it didn't appear to make any difference. Does anyone have any other ideas? Has anyone else been able to get this NIC to work w/ FreeBSD? Thanks.
