Hello For Prism2.5 based cards you can use native wi driver, hostap works well, except bug in tx rate detection - it's fixed to 2Mbit/s more info there http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-May/027476.html For PrismGT there is non-oficial driver from Green http://green.homeunix.org/~green/prism54-driver/pff/ just compile it, it creates if_pff.ko module, then load it I found the problem, that if I load module in already running system, it works well, but if I load it at the boot (if_pff_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf), I got panic (something with locking, i'll give some info to green after debugging) however hostap works well I have already compiled version on FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #0: Tue Nov 16 09:56:37 CET 2004 you can get it on (also with firmware - see Makefile) in one tgz http://bsd.mikulas.com/wifi/pff-all.tgz Jiri Nikolas Britton wrote: > Do the Prism GT chipsets support hostap mode in freebsd (does freebsd > even support this chipset?)? and are there any other chipsets besides > Prism 2/2.5/3? that work in hostap mode? > > Thank you, > Nikolas
