I was having a hard time finding out which wifi cards are supported by fbsd. I looked around for some time, reading lots of good stuff, but never quite sure which cards worked with the wi driver. Doooh! man wi gives a list of cards. You might want to try looking at it or the other wireless drivers (an, ray, awi,?) I guess the moral is to try to go straight to the source. Sometimes I have a hard time with man pages, but usually if I do not look at them, they contain exactly what I wanted to find. good luck! dave __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
