Hi Gary, If your notebook is not broken, you should be able to use internal WiFi with wpi driver. I haven't tried the latest one yet (there are changes Benjamin asked to check), but it worked for me for couple of monthes on my D830/FBSD7.0 (Pre-Release). Just give it a try. 2008/3/17, knowtree@aloha.com <knowtree@aloha.com>: > Usually my Lucent gold wifi card (wi0:) comes up fine when I start my > laptop (Dell Latitude D830, FreeBSD 7.0), but once in a while it doesn't, > and sometimes I forget to plug it in.
