I think I will just create a user named ftp to enable anonymous access since security is not our major concern so far. The thing concerns me is exact the question you asked in the first place: Does FreeBSD 2.0.5 even have any support for wireless networking devices? Because I cannot find any reference it. I am wondering if anyone in this mailing list has a answer to this question. And I am just curious to see how people made wireless network back in 1990s. It must be quite "fun". Again, any comment on wireless networking under FreeBSD will be greatly appreciated! Thank all of you so much!
