To see a list of cards that support the Prism2 silicon, see the wi(4) man page. As it happens, your choice of the Netgear ma401 is a prism2 card, and supports the ability to become an AP, and has a jack for an external antenna. Avoid the Lucent cards like plauge. They are of major suck. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
