I tried to locate the five module using the locate command, but the only modules presents on my notebook are wlan_amrr.ko and wpifw.ko. The modules if_wpi, wlan_scan_sta and wlan_scan_ap do not exists. I forgot to say that this the first time I use freeBSD a mailing list and above my english is bad. So any advice are well accept. ____________________________________________________________________________________ You rock.
