Hi all,

I have been asked a few times recently if drivers are available for 802.1=
1g=20
gear - senao brand has been mentioned (also rebadged as Netgate and=20
Veritech), as has the Mac Airport extreme (actually the original request =
was=20
for linux drivers, but we seem to have convinced them that BSD is better=20
*evil grin*)

so, is any 802.11g gear supported in FreeBSD (mostly 4.x, but hey, even 5=
=2E0=20
would be fine).
I know the standard isn't exactly finallised, so there is likely going to=
 be=20
some compatability issues, but since when has that stopped people?
