I urge you to upgrade to FreeBSD 6, which has a _lot_ of new code and bug fixes that won't be backported to 5 (due to API changes in 6). I'm running that card or a very similar one (mine is an a/b/g card) on -current with no problems at all. 5, though, will, I'm afraid, never fully support those cards, at least not to the extent that 6 does and 7-current will. -- Frank Mayhar [email protected] http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://www.gpsclock.com/ http://www.exit.com/blog/frank/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
