I forget where i saw a post about this. but anyway the basic issue is that the main network device companies [dlink, smc, netgear, linksys] have stopped using the prism based chipsets, in favor of some other chipsets, such as the amtel [search for that on teh mailing lists or google]. afaik, theres currently no support for these new different chipsets. and the worst part is most of the manufacturers arent even marking the change on their box's, or even doing a revision number [perhaps linksys is at least doing that]. I feel for you, as im having WAP woes of my own. good luck yussef On Tue, 27 May 2003 09:44:00-0400 Mik Firestone<[email protected]> wrote: > I have been toying with a Linksys WAP and a WPC11 card most of this > weekend and I have not been able to get freebsd to recognize the card. > I have googled a fair amount on this and searched the archives and > have not found any help.
