I'm looking to replace the Realtek rtl8185 mini-PCI wireless NIC in my 
laptop, and I was wondering about what to replace it with.

Could anyone tell me who the manufacturers are that support their chips 
with documentation available to FreeBSD for the writing of drivers, 
please. I believe that Ralink and Atmel are in that category, according 
to the googling I've been able to do.

I'd like to support those manufacturers that support FreeBSD.

Thanks in Advance,
Patrick
