See: > > http://www.dlink.com/products/wireless/dwl650/ I'm confused here - I already use this card on laptop with FreeBSD 4.7 and 4.6. It's connected through TI PCI-1225 Cardbus controller which is both PCCard and Cardbus. (Kernel reports PC Card 16 bit bus (classic) though). So is DWL-650 PCCard or Cardbus? Or D-Link technical writers messed up? ftp://ftp2.dlink.com/Wireless/DWL650/ProdSpec/dwl-650-datasheet.pdf - there card looks different and is a "PCMCIA Type-II adapter." Overall DWL-650 works fine. There are two small inconveniences : 1. pccardd fails to load if_wi.ko after reboot ("driver allocation failed"). It loads it after card remove/insert. 2. I had to put wi0 in promiscuous mode to prevent high packet loss. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
