RE: 802.11a PCI cards.

I'm using a Dlink DWL 650 which is a pci card in my freebsd 5.0 current
test box, it works great, although you will have to fiddle with
wicontrol abit, (assuming you use 5.0) as I had to use an option -p 0
for it to work, however the man file notes 1 and 3 are valid options..
Which did not work for me.  I am unsure about 4.5 stable though, I
believe someone ported the bsd airtools that were for 4.4 to 4.5, you
will have to search the mailing list.

Subject: 802.11a PCI cards.


I was wondering if any of the 802.11a PCI cards such as the one from
Inetl or D-Link worked with FreeBSD in any form?

I was also wondering if anyone had one of thease cards? Does the antenna
come off? I want to hook up an external antenna to one and try a long
distance point to point link.

I noiced that in the picture on Intel's web site, the PCI card actually
had a cable going from the back of the card to the antenna (looks very
hackable).

Thanks in advance for the help.
