Yes, that works and shows I have BCM4310 wireless controller. I am new to wireless nic's . How do I load the driver or set this to work under FreeBSD? This FreeBSD is working from a Flash Drive USB using the 7.2 down load that Manolis made for us. The main drive has linux on it and it works with the wlan so I think it will work once I figure how to make FreeBSD see and use it. ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + + http://aloha50.net - Supporting - FreeBSD 6.* - 7.* - 8.* + < email: noc@hdk5.net > "All that's really worth doing is what we do for others."- Lewis Carrol
