I just got a Linksys WPC11 card a couple weeks ago and I have not (as of yet) been able to get it working in 4.3. Apparently it uses a fairly standard chipset and design (Intersil chipset Prism design), which 4.3 should have support for through the wi driver, but it does not work properly with my card. I am guessing that the wi driver needs a little bit of tweaking in order to make it work. I have sent several messages to the mobile list but it would seem that nobody is interested in working on the wi driver right now. There has however been a report recently on the mobile list of a D-Link card working. Your mileage may vary. -Eric -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Bob Johnson Sent: Saturday, June 02, 2001 1:59 PM To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Low cost wireless cards? (D-Link, LinkSys, etc) Some 802.11b wireless PC cards are now in the sub- $120 range, which means I can afford to buy one now. I want something that is Wi-Fi (WECA) certified ( http://www.wi-fi.com ), and of the low cost cards I've found prices for, that means the D-Link DWL-650 or the Linksys WPC11. Are either of these cards supported by FBSD 4.3? Can anyone recommend a Wi-Fi 802.11b card for under $150 or so? Is there an on-line copy of pccard.conf I can browse? I'm sure it must be somewhere, but I haven't found it. I need to upgrade my laptop to 4.3 anyway, but so far I haven't found the few hours it would take to do it. Maybe tomorrow... - Bob +-------------------------------------------------------- | Bob Johnson | bobj@ufl.edu +-------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
