I have looked through the minimal docs for using these with NT and WIN95. They don't actually have the NT drivers for the 802.11 yet but I managed the install for WIN95. Before the PCCard install both required "introducing" the PCCard to the OS which required a seperate driver install before the actual WaveLAN driver could be installed. Could it be that the FreeBSD strategy is the same and that you have to get the socket recognized before the WaveLAN driver can see the PC Card? -----Original Message----- From: Javier Gomez-Castellanos <javierg@ctr.columbia.edu> To: Bill Trost <trost@cloud.rain.com> Cc: Javier Gomez-Castellanos <javierg@comet.columbia.edu>; mobile@FreeBSD.ORG <mobile@FreeBSD.ORG> Date: Friday, August 14, 1998 12:38 PM Subject: Re: PCMCIA waveLAN driver. > >Thanks Bill an Jim for your comments. > >I actually installed the 2.4 GHz ISA card and works well, the problem is >when i tried to make the 2.4 GHz "PCMCIA" card work.
