You really should repost this email with a subject line like
	Proxim Netline 10/100 USB supported ?
People who know this kind of hardware will read it at once.

Anyway: With your FreeBSD-Release came files called
HARDWARE.txt and HARDWARE.htm where all supported hardware
is listed.
USB-stuff still seems to be quite experimental. If it
doesn't work you should puchase some PCI-NIC. They are cheap
and reliable.

Uli.
