Now that I have wireless working, I can copy and paste into messages, yeah! [jnordwick@jj ~]$ uname -a FreeBSD jj.nordwick.com 7.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE #0: Thu Jan 1 14:37:25 UTC 2009 root@logan.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 [jnordwick@jj ~]$ cat /etc/rc.conf # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Wed Mar 18 20:34:14 2009 # Created: Wed Mar 18 20:34:14 2009 # Enable network daemons for user convenience. # Please make all changes to this file, not to /etc/defaults/rc.conf. # This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf. hostname="jj.nordwick.com" ifconfig_bfe0="DHCP" ifconfig_wpi0="ssid mamalinz DHCP" keymap="us.emacs" linux_enable="YES" moused_enable="YES" moused_flags="-3" sshd_enable="YES" And I have no /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf The card works great with windows, and no other machine in the house (including Wii/PS3/PSP/Mac/Windows) have any problems connection or being speedy). For hardware, the machine is a Dell Inspiron E1705 dual core. So could there be SMP issues maybe? When connected by a wire, the download speed is much faster so it seems to be a wireless only problem. -j On Fri, Mar 20, 2009 at 10:12 PM, Doug Barton <dougb@freebsd.org> wrote: > Jason Nordwick wrote: > > Thanks for all the help.
