I use a usb wireless adapter (Netgear WG121), which works fine under Win....but I am really not sure how to get this working with FreeBSD 5.1. I have read the manual and a few forum posts, and it seems that USB adapters are supported by default in FreeBSD 5? Is this true, or is there something I need to enable in the kernel? I am just not sure what to do in order to get this working, and until it works...my BSD box is without inet access :(:( Could anyone help? Thanks for your time! Best regards Wang
