In 7.1 I just edit my /etc/rc.conf and reboot, but I need a more user friendly UI. Hey Gary! We've tried several USB wifi adapters at work with varying success. It helps if they're based on an Atheros chipset. I haven't run across that particular pc-card one but we can add it to the test list. We recently put a mini-pci 3g evdo card in one of our laptops and got it going fairly easily. Works great! For a decent network config GUI, checkout PC-BSD, the desktop config of FreeBSD. It's currently on 7.x but Kris Moore is working on the 8 release right now, which won't be to far behind the FreeBSD release. best, -matt _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
