FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE
>Description:
The newest MA401 802.11b wireless PCMCIA cards do not work with
FreeBSD because of a change in the ientifier string. The "MA401"
is now called a "MA401RA" even though the card is functionally
identical and is still supported by the same driver.
>How-To-Repeat:
Buy the latest Netgear 802.11b card and try to use it.
>Fix:
Add this section to /etc/default/pccard.conf (clone of the
MA401 entry):
# Netgear MA401RA
card "NETGEAR MA401RA Wireless PC" "Card"
config auto "wi" ? 0x10000
insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start
remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop
