I have tried google and the > handBook. But I couldn't find a simple clear answer. The Handbook has a section (2.10) called Supported Hardware. It says look in Release Information and gives a link http://www.freebsd.org/releases/index.html. On that page if you click on Hardware Notes (for 6.0 would be best) you'll get not only the wireless card list (section 3.6), but all supported hardware. Sometimes you get more detailed information (especially on chipsets) in the man pages for the driver itself; it is always worth checking! > I am new for FreeBSD and my experience is just linux. Welcome! > Is there any especial recommendation to wireless PCI? I'm happy with my Cisco/Aironet card, but there are many newer and faster ones. Surely someone on this list will have just tried a relatively new one on 6.0! > Does Linksys Wireless PCI CARD network works under freeBSD? There are several listed in the Hardware Notes for 6.0 > How can I know the chipset sold on the PCI card? Usually the manufacturer will have the technical specifications for their products on their web site. Best of luck! -gayn Bristol Systems Inc. 714/532-6776 www.bristolsystems.com
