i am using a Linksys WPC11 version 3.0 card running freebsd 4.6, was stable before it was released, and it works great. 4.5 will not work, they did some good work on wifi support in 4.6, so you need to use that. i do have issues with my toshiba laptop, but its unrelated to the card. the card is cheap, you can probably find it for around $60 now. its supported in winbloze, linux and openbsd as well if you want to dual boot or something. jason > Good day. > > I'm planning to build up a wireless AP using 802.11b technology at home. > I've noticed that my Lucent (Orinoco) Wireless 11 mbit card can't act as > an AP in FreeBSD. > > Can someone give me any recommendations on Prism II/Prism 2.5?
