In 6.1 you do not need to recompile the kernel. You can load the drivers. kldstat will tell you what you have loaded. check 'man if_ndis' and/or the handbook for configuration setting, chipsets, etc. you can just do: cd /boot/kernel kldload wlan.ko kldload if_ndis.ko You may need the wep dirver if you are using encryption. After all that works, you can load by adding to /boot/loader.conf: if_ndis_load="YES" wlan_load="YES" This is just a guide. I have a thinkpad so I am not sure if the above is complete. In addition to the handbook and the man pages, you can find a lot of information via Google. Hope this helps. On Wed, 31 May 2006, Atanas Atanasov wrote: > I am quite new to FreeBSD.
