I am trying to find a *NIX system that will work with this system. Mandriva calls the card an AR5006 and Vista said it was an AR5007. Vista worked fine for about a month or so, but I have decided I want to go all free on my systems. Mandriva will work with the card but locks up after a few hours requiring a restart. Not really acceptable. And it is the best I found in the Linux world. Would any of the BSD systems work with this card? Any recommendations would be most appreciated. Isaac MacFarlane
