from Warren Block: > It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Most of the time, the FreeBSD system is just a client trying to connect to the access point. This article shows how to set that up both in /etc/rc.conf and manually with commands: http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/wireless.html Thanks for helpful link. I don't think I can try it now. Now I can't get Internet access through the wireless router, even though the computer sees it. I now have a TPLink wireless router on order, scheduled to be delivered today. I get Internet access by directly connecting the Ethernet cable from computer to cable modem, but this is only good for one computer at a time. I was unable to connect with USB wireless adapter Hiro H50191, driver rsu, though FreeBSD recognized this adapter. I couldn't find any networks by scanning. Maybe that could be related to wireless router gradually failing? I did read the FreeBSD Handbook chapter on wireless networking, and subsequently googled for info on wi-fi setup in Linux. Tom
