I have a Linksys Wireless PCI Card, model no WMP11,=20 and I don't manage to make my freebsd 4.7 basic install to detect it.=20= Did you solve your problem and how ? And I don't understant the reference to pccard in the answer you received (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=3D2363574+0+/usr/= local/www/db/text/2003/freebsd-questions/20030209.freebsd-questions): This is a PCI Card, for DESKTOPs, and anyway when I run pccardd daemon it tells me (correctly I guess) that there is no PC-CARD slot. Similarly someone else seems to be using the same card with the driver wi, (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=3D1883677+0+/usr/local= /www/db/text/2002/freebsd-questions/20020505.freebsd-questions), but this driver is said in the GENERIC configuration file of my kernel to be associated only to WaveLAN wireless, a pcmcia card. Are those people talking about the same Wireless PCI card ? (there are similar references in older mails) Finally there seems to be a driver for this card under red Hat, (http://www.saragossa.net/LinuxG3/ls-wlan.shtml), but they warn of some bios prerequite: > Be advised, the WMP11 PCI requires a version 2.2 PCI bus on your > motherboard Could it be the cause and how can I check that ? --=20 J=E9r=E9my Barbay (http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~je= remy) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
