The online man pages for 4.0-current still says 6Mb, though. Out of date ? ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/share/man/man4/man4.i386/wi.4 The wi driver provides support for WaveLAN/IEEE PCCARD adapters (also known as WaveLAN II cards). Note that while Lucent sells both ISA and PCMCIA WaveLAN/IEEE devices, the ISA product is actually a PCMCIA card in an ISA to PCMCIA bridge adapter. Consequently, the wi driver is required for both the ISA and PCMCIA NICs. Both the original 2Mbps WaveLAN/IEEE cards and the newer 6Mbps WaveLAN/IEEE Turbo adapters are supported.
