Welcome :) There's a few gotcha's in your email, normal for your first experience. I suggest you first read: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/permissions.html (and it certainly won't hurt to read the entire chapter on UNIX basics) followed by: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/config-tuning.html And then specifically for your card: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html If you still cannot get it to work, please include specific information: - whether the driver is available (pciconf -lv output) - what wireless protocol you are using (WEP/WPA/foo) - what you have tried from the wireless networking chapter and where it fails. -- Mel People using reply to all on lists, must think I need 2 copies.
