Does anyone have any suggestions on wireless cards to use with FreeBSD? I used to have a USR 2410 but I could never get it to work under Linux and I eventually accidentally smashed it in my messenger bag. Now I have a WPC11v4 piece of tripe with the Realtek chipset, for which Realtek only release drivers for Redhat Linux. But it's flaky anyway -- it seems like it's resetting the card every time the configuration changes, and it is constantly searching for different access points, so I constantly get little bumps in wireless service and it often disconnects me from clients requiring persistent connections (messenger services, etc) -- so I want to get a new card. I'd like to be able to use this card on FreeBSD, because I'd really like to ditch Windows. I'm looking at a "Cisco Aironet 350 PCM352 Wireless PC Card" on ebay. Has anyone ever actually gotten this to work on FreeBSD? What about a pre-v4 WPC11? Any success with the D-Link DWL-650 (and if so, any chipset or other caveats with that?)? Any help would be appreciated.
