Hi there. If you want a very stable Freebsd Access Point, use a PCMCIA card with chipset prism II and freebsd 5.0 release I 've got one working for 6 month with more than 40 customers (never crash!!!!!!) if you want to use a PCI card try with a Netgear is prism 2.5 (I testing one these now and looks fine but slower than PCMCIA prism II) . you have to use the firmware 1.4.9 or 1.5.6, I trust more in 1.4.9 Don't use freebsd 5.1 is half speed less! cheers!
