I am a recent user of FreeBSD. I believe that there is a growing interest for FreeBSD as a Desktop and Laptop OS; for such, it would be desirable to support wireless access to internet. It seems that there is a need for a document concerning installation and configuration of cellular - wireless modems, as mobile communications are more and more required in IT, such a document to follow on FreeBSD standards of quality and completeness. I am willing to develop such a document, with all the possible support from the FreeBSD Community; for such, this announcement will serve as a starting point for communicating with the Community for gathering first contacts. A copy of this announcement will be posted in duplicate in the following communication channels: * FreeBSD Mailing List "FreeBSD Documents", "freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org" * FreeBSD Forum "Feedback", at "http://forums.freebsd.org" * FreeBSD Usenet Newsgroup "Announce", "comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.announce" I would like to thank to the moderators for all the suggestions and observations on the the best use of the above communication channels, as well for the their comprehension on any situation they understand deserves to be pointed out. With best regards, Antonio.
