Can't comment on FreeBSD, since I don't have one of the LinkSYS cards in a FreeBSD box. I do have one in a NetWare 4.11 server though, and consistently get more than 70mbps on benchmarks. I do slightly better with it than I do with Intel's Pro 100+ cards. However, LinkSYS' laptop cards are best avoided....
