I know for a fact that Lucent cards work together. I know that the D-Link Air that I have works in the "demo ad-hoc" mode that Lucent works in. Some other cards work, others don't. I'm told that other cards work better with 802.11b approved ad-hoc mode. : Netgear pcmcia adapter MA301 and its card: : http://www.netgear.com/product_view.asp?xrp=11&yrp=30&zrp=90 : http://www.netgear.com/product_view.asp?xrp=11&yrp=30&zrp=91 OK. This card is Ricoh 5C477 based cards. I have one, and have tested it a little and it seems to work. : Zyxel ZyAIR PCI Adapter with its pcmcia card: : http://www.zyxel.com/product/wireless/pciadapter.htm : http://www.zyxel.com/product/wireless/zyair100.htm No clue. Should work, btu might need some tweaks. : Buffalo Tecnology ISA (and PCI) adapter: : http://www.buffalo-technology.com/products/airstation/wliisaop.html : http://www.buffalo-technology.com/products/airstation/wlipciop.html : http://www.buffalo-technology.com/products/airstation/wlipcml11.html The ISA ones work. The PCI ones will likely work. IIRC, the PCI one is TI 1420 based, and shoudl work. I don't have one of these, so I can't be completely sure. : Dlink pci card dwl520: : http://www.dlink.com/products/wireless/dwl520/ : or the dwl500 with dwl650: : http://www.dlink.com/products/wireless/dwl500/ : http://www.dlink.com/products/wireless/dwl650/ DLINK uses the simple PLX part on its card. The wi driver has support for this, but others do not. I've had reports from my friends in OpenBSD-land that there's a new PLX-like part that's appearing, but it doesn't work with the plx code. : Any other pcmcia adapters that work on a FreeBSD box ?? Most all pcmcia ones work. : Any other wireless nic ? The Aironet ones work (the cisco 342 based ISA card works, and I've tested it recently). Same answers for both -stable and -current.
