Or try working using 32bit mode, of the CPU, i believe that is possible. About the questionmarks you see from the scan, i don't think they are problem, since i see them too but the card is working normaly. put this in you rc.conf ifconfig_ndis0="DHCP" reboot and then try to associate to the AP. Also get your self familier with this chapter from the handbook : http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/advanced-networking.html See if you are not missing something. And remember that the Handbook is your best friend. It is mine ;] Good luck! _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
