I'd like to experient with d/bsd as I think it's an extremely interesting idea, and one I've been looking for for a while.
Unfortunately, my test hardware is rather elderly and is a bit lacking in ports. This means that my only networking options are wireless, and I'm a WPA shop not a WEP one, or else --- wait for it --- ethernet over Firewire. (Or a serial cable, but I'd really rather not go there.) For the first, does d/bsd support WPA yet? I notice that there seems to be no wpasupplicant package. For the second, the supplied FreeBSD kernel only appears to include the fwe driver, which is alas non-standard. I'd need the fwip driver in order to interoperate with Linux. Is there any reason why fwip isn't built other than that nobody's needed it before --- as it is rather niche? If not, can anyone point me at a guide on how to build and install my own kernel? -- David Given [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
