[-- Attachment #1 --] I have successfully installed freebsd on my macbook (yay!), but I can't figure out how to make the wifi work. Wired networking works great. I am following the directions here : http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/network-wireless.html, but I have only got up to section 31.3.3.1, since I can't get past the scanning part. My ifconfig output is attached (can't figure out cutting and pasting in icewm with the single mouse thing). When I try run ifconfig ath0 scan, I get "ifconfig: unable to get scan results". My loader.conf is attached to -- I presume that the kernels are loadd, but I can't figure out how to check. I DO see ath0 in the dmesg. Any help is appreciated!
