Since I cannot guess who wrote your driver I can at least inform you of the following URL: http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/Aironet See if this driver is also for you. If not, bug the original author of your driver to change the name or send his changes to Bill Paul [if the author isn't Bill in the first place]. Bill uses an0 for Aironet and not al0.
