I think i remember > something about an "iwconfig" command - is that now obsolete? To refresh my addled, post vacation brain: What version of FreeBSD? NEWCARD or OLDCARD kernel? dmesg.boot file? kldstat output? kernel configuration file? pciconf -vl output? Is any card seen when plugged into the card slot? This is just a shot in the dark, but is device wlan in the kernel? -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
