Laptop wireless card
I'm going back to traveling a bit, from not traveling at all for several years. I find that a lot of the motels internet access is now wireless only. I've got a FreeBSD STABLE laptop, and I was wondering what the best brand of card to but for it would be? -- They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I cannot really speak for the best brand, but I used the Netgear MA401 in my last laptop and it worked while...while it lasted. It's kind of a 3 - 6 month lifespan card, but was supported and thin enough that my other pcmcia slot was open. I've moved to built-in recently and use one of the atheros chipsets. I am much more happy with this solution, personally. I've heard that the orinoco chipset is in some cards that are both high-reception and sturdy. Perhaps cards by IBM or Cisco is where to look for higher quality cards. But again, I went with the Netgear because it was like 10ish dollars on ebay. Good luck :) -- If I write a signature, my emails will appear more personalised. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
