Fine, any clue also on the LAN Xircom CWE1130 ?
I think it must be the version with the 128bit encryption.

I know this one, but I really like to try first to put a nic card wireless 
(or an adapter for a pcmcia card) on a FreeBSD box.
If none are supported I'll revert to the access point solution.

So the question was: which kind of adapters is supported  ? Anyone that are 
using some of them ?

Netgear pcmcia adapter MA301 and its card:

Zyxel ZyAIR PCI Adapter with its pcmcia card:

http://www.zyxel.com/product/wireless/zyair100.htm

I see that someone is using them, but having problem setting the pccard 
zyxel at 11mbs (it stops at 2mbs).
The message doesn't say which branch of FreeBSD was used (4.4-STABLE or 
5.0-CURRENT, even if I presume the second based on the fact the adapter is 
cardbus). The adapter seems able to use other cards too ...


Buffalo Tecnology ISA (and PCI) adapter:

Dlink pci card dwl520:

or the dwl500 with dwl650:

Any other pcmcia adapters that work on a FreeBSD box ??
Any other wireless nic ?

Thanks to everyone for attention.
