I believe that is true of all PRISM II based cards, which means most of the cheap ones. Someone is working on adding full PRISM II support to the wi driver, and expects to have it ready in about 6 weeks. Check the -mobile archives for more info on that. I have not tested mine in ad-hoc mode: I don't know if that works. So, where can I get one for $75? I know a few people who might buy them for that price (I might even buy one for my wife ;). > --Brett - Bob To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
