Sorry for the delay in getting back. I was only able to get a 4GB stick of RAM. Not what we were after, but I tried it anyway and the system still froze during boot. I also tried a 32 bit 9.0 Beta 2 boot disk without any luck. I can keep this card in the new PC to work with you on testing/debugging in the PCI slot, but I need to get the wireless network back up. Leaving the current card in the PCI slot leaves me a spare PCI express slot. Are there any PCI express cards you are aware of (or chipsets I should look for in a PCI express wireless card) that work OK with FreeBSD and could host VAPs? Kind regards, Geoff
