In -current there's the 'wl' driver for the ISA cards (in heavy production), and the PAO guys have the 'wlp' driver for the PCCARD Wavelans. They're a bit pricey, but basically "just work". Jim Binkley (ex. Portland State) was getting about 12 miles out of the 915MHz units using appropriate antennae. You can mail to 'wavelan@smith.net.au' to talk to the FreeBSD Wavelan people; they may be able to help you with more specific questions should you have any. mike
