Well, at least my miniPCI card works now. IIRC, the wireless cards are around US$60-$70 and the adapter cards are somewhere around $50. So its almost just as cheap to go with a dedicated basestation. Of course, I haven't looked at prices in a while, so they could have gone down. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
