Assuming that you're talking about MiniPCI cards, you can use any based on the Atheros chipset. I believe most if not all currently shipping Atheros cards are supported in FreeBSD 6.2. I have personally been using Wistron CM9 for nearly a year now. As far as the problem you described, you could have been running mixed b/g mode causing protection bit to be set which effectively reduces the throughput of your wireless LAN. Yuri
