RTL8201 appears to be a phy for interfacing with 10/100baseT ethernet networks, and is generally paired (via miibus) with a media-independent adapter using one of rl(4) or re(4). This is not an 802.11 wifi device. You will probably have to look elsewhere in pciconf or usbconfig for evidence of your notebook's wireless adapter and its true chipset. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net <[email protected]> Furry Peace! - http://wwww.fur.com/peace/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
