If you need cheap, the SMC 2632W Orinoco-based wi(4) card works great on -CURRENT (don't know about -STABLE but don't know why it would be any different). I got mine for $75. I can't recommend any APs, even though I have a Netgear MR314. The MR314 is very poor feature-wise, but it's a router, not just an AP. It was pretty cheap too, but I'll probably sell it and buy a different one. -- wca To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
