I've installed 5.1 on two machines, one of shich is connected to a wireless network through a TI pci cardbus adapator and an Avaya Silver Wireless Network Card. The card is recognised, the configuration settings appear to be correct but ifconfig -a shows that there is "no carrier". I suspect that the problem may be interrupt-related, so the next thing I will try is to check the interrupt settings in Linux and force the same in NetBSD (I don't know how to achieve this yet but imagine it will be in the documentation somewhere). What I would apprciate is some advice as to best method to troubleshoot this problem and correct it. I must add that I like what I see of FreeBSD so far. Installation was painless and I like the Ports system. I don't know if I will like it so much that I replace my Debian unstable, but time will tell. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
