Hi, Thanks for the suggestions. I was able to get the wireless lan up and running now on my laptop. I used it for an hour and it seems to run stably... Basically i first got the iwi-firmware-2.3_2.tbz package and then installed it on the laptop and i was able to get connected to my wirless router and then to internet.That was great... Thanks a lot again to FreeBSD community...
