But that's an 802.11b, not an 802.11a.

|
|
| 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.
