My laptop has the wonderfully under-supported Broadcom wifi card in it. While it does work now with ndiswrapper and a few needed patches; it still doesn't work very well, to say nothing of natively. So, what does work? I've checked out the hardware notes for 6.1-R, but to no avail really... I'm looking at an Intel 2915 wireless a/b/g mini-PCI card, as Intel has always been great with supporting FreeBSD and therefore I'd much rather send my business to them... but I know very little about this card and don't know which (if any) driver supports it? Does anyone out there have this card, or another mini-PCI, (preferably not based on a broadcom chip ), that they could recommend? If driver's are in the making for the Intel mini-PCI card, I'd be happy to help test as well. Currently running 6.2-RC1/amd64 with some patchwork done to the ndiswrapper kernel module to make it work with newer Broadcom windows drivers. -- Nathan Vidican nvidican@wmptl.com
