Looks like that's a Realtek RTL 8185L chipset, which doesn't have a FreeBSD driver at this time. Project Evil with the Windows drivers could suffice, but IMO that's more a toy than something to be used for any serious purpose (though it worked, with minor quirks, the one time I've tried it). And that's assuming they haven't changed the chipset, many vendors like that who target Windows users have a bad habit of changing chipsets without changing the model number, which sucks for BSD and Linux users as you can never be entirely sure what you're really getting. > I know there used to be a list of tested chipsets/cards but I can't seem > to find it. > Best I'm aware of is the FreeBSD HCL. http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.1R/hardware.html#WLAN _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
