At the rough end of the scale, there are QuickCam drivers in FreeBSD, alternatively, the LINT kernel config suggests there is support for a Cortex-I frame grabber (ctx). Otherwise, check out www.freebsd.org and check the supported hardware list. > wireless lan hardware - i need to broadcast images to a receiving > station located inside a 500m radius. WaveLAN cards work quite nicely - I've got two offices hooked up between two buildings (250mtrs line of sight). Contact Integrity Data Systems on 08 9409 1011, either Ross Chiswell or Steve should be able to help you. Circa $500 each, there are other products too.
