Maybe mother's /etc/pf.conf could also be of relevance?

Hi
I have just installed FreeBSD 4.11 with the intention of not only
creating a file server but to allow for video streaming and recording
with the aid of a TV card.
Lots of forums suggest many options to achieve this however to save alot
of time with untested and not always proven methods.
Is there a Linksys wpc100 (802.11) kernel module? The card is not detected in:
FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE-p3 #2
TIA
T.B.
