Does FreeBSD 2.0.5 even have any support for wireless networking devices?=

As I recall for that vintage of FreeBSD, it was simply a matter of uncomm=
enting
the appropriate line in /etc/inetd.conf and (re)starting inetd -- there a=
re no
rc.subr scripts in a system that old, so to restart inetd, you'ld have to=
do
something like:
# kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`
To start it at all, just run:
# /usr/sbin/inetd
Enabling it to be automatically started on reboot is pretty much the same=
as
nowadays: just stick inetd_enable=3D"YES" into /etc/rc.conf. If you want=
to
provide anonymous FTP, then I believe there were instructions in the ftpd=
(8)
man page.
Cheers,
Matthew
