You should check out the command wicontrol(8) if your WiFi card uses the wi(4) or ath(4) driver (I'm sure a similar tool exists for other wireless NIC drivers as well). In fact, here you go: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi Just type `wicontrol' into the box and hit "Submit". Mind you, though, that the fact that the card is operating at 5Mbps could be due to the conditions where the laptop is located. The poorer the signal, the lower the speed (something Windows elegantly neglects to tell you, you only know if the connection is Excellent, Good, Low, Very Low or No Signal). Hope this helps, and congrats on a sparkling new, improved (hell, I'd say sexy ;-) computer system! -Henrik W Lund
