And now I say the same thing in different words. There is no breezecom "card". Think of it as a UTP-radio transceiver. You plug a UTP cable from the breezcom SA into the FreeBSD box's UTP ethernet. If you want the FreeBSD box to be a router, give it another ethernet card. There is no driver for the breezecom because it is just part of the ethernet, and you use a driver for the ethernet card. LAN-----FBSD-------SA ::::::::::: WH ------FBSD---LAN ----- is ethernet ::::: is radio SA is station adapter WH is wireless hub (also has UTP) You'll need to use a microsubnet (netmask 255.255.255.252) for the point-to-point link, or use a bigger subnet if there are more SA units talking to the WH. 1 WH can talk to many SA.
