Yes, I just went that route searching for a driver, hard work, have a look at http://www.berklix.org/~jhs/txt/driver_search.html Turns out one wireless driver (urtwn, Realtek RTL8188CU/RTL8192CU USB IEEE 802.11b/g/n, Belkin F7D1102 Surf Wireless Micro D-Link DWA-131 Edimax EW-7811Un Netgear WNA1000M Realtek RTL8192CU Realtek RTL8188CUS ) was never put in 9 but is in FreeBSD 10 Alpha release, if you'r luck may be the same one I found. I just downloaded a 10 .iso alpha to try. Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Unix Linux C Sys Eng Consultant, Munich http://berklix.com Reply below not above, like a play script.
