Hi all, good update on wifi for vs 7.0 I've got an IBM thinkpad T60 with integrated wifi. Didn't work at all. Tried various configurations/settings; no go. But I have an "old" Netgear card; which is now working fine with FreeBSD 7.0. Strange enough to say, that on my other partition Ubuntu's 7.10 wifi is working out of the box. Any idea to get the "standard nowaday's Intel wifi's" running on FreeBSD? regards Michael * freebsd-mobile-request@freebsd.org <freebsd-mobile-request@freebsd.org> [2008-03-10 12:00:14 +0000]: > Send freebsd-mobile mailing list submissions to > freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > freebsd-mobile-request@freebsd.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > freebsd-mobile-owner@freebsd.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of freebsd-mobile digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
