Hi all, Trying to install FreeBSD 5.2.1 onto my laptop. I have a LinkSys WRT54G wireless gateway, and the Cisco 250 card which "should" support 802.11b mode into the Linksys (running in mixed mode). I'm researching options to get the NIC working...but from the manual page(s) of ifconfig I've only found this tidbit, which makes me wonder... A WEP key will be either 5 or 13 characters (40 or 104 bits) depending of the local net- work and the capabilities of the adaptor. My LinkSys has the options for 128 bit or 64bit WEP, naturally I went with 128. This works great for all my Windows boxes...but how do I get FreeBSD to light up the card? Thanks in advance. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + Ralph | Internet Systems & Security + + Boundariez.com | -"Specializing in Paranoia"- + -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + ralph[!at]boundariez[dot!]com | Never understimate the power + + AIM: SekurityWizard | stupid people + + ICQ: 2206039 | in large groups + -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+=20
