So I need to know, what Wi-Fi NIC is working better under FreeBSD 7.1, from the next little list: > ZyXEL G-302 EE > D-link DWA-510 > ASUS WL-138g V2 > TRENDnet TEW-423PI > P.S.

It's sometimes hard to tell by the card model and I don't know which chipsets these cards have. I used two cards with chipsets: Atheros 5212 (ath) and Ralink Technology RT2561S (ral). Both of them don't work in a stable way under 71-PRERELEASE and in a very similar way. Connections get broken, link goes down sporadically. 'up scan' hangs, pings often don't go through after link is established, 'airdump' command stops working after a while on both of them. Based on these experiences i came to a conclusion that WiFi support isn't stable yet in FreeBSD. Yuri
