I made the correction on the development site and did not have any issues. In fact, I still don't have problems with it at all. On the live site, though, there's something amiss with the way the template system is interacting with the database. So, I'm trying to track down the problem. Here are my temporary hurdles, I'm still wading through the template system. The more familiar I get with the layout of that, the faster things seem to go. And I usually get an hour or so a day to work with it. But, I am plugging away at it. I'll post an update when I isolate the erroneous problems.

FYI, I upgraded to 8.0 and built the virtual interface, but still had the same problems. I finally stumbled upon the solution to my problem.

7.1 and wireless with ural
Hey list, I've searched and searched for a solution to this problem and I can't
find one.
I've got the wireless nic setup, its a Linksys WUSB54G v2.
Its picked up by the ural driver, but as far as I can tell that driver doesn't
work for it.
dmesg gives me:
ural0: MAC/BBP RT2570 (rev 0x05), RF RT2526
ural0: WARNING: using obsoleted IFF_NEEDSGIANT flag
ural0: Ethernet address: 00:18:39:03:35:3b
Then I get a series of messages that repeat:
ural0: link state changed to UP
ural0: link state changed to DOWN
ural0: link state changed to UP
ural0: link state changed to DOWN
Here's ifconfig when the device is UP:
ural0: flags=108843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT metric 0
mtu 1500
ether 00:18:39:03:35:3b
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 255.255.255.255
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (OFDM/36Mbps)
status: associated
ssid MYNETWORK channel 6 (2437 Mgz 11g) bssid 00:25:9c:9e:e0:00
authmode WPA2/802.11i privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF txpower 50 bmiss 7
scanvalid 60 protmode CTS roaming MANUAL
And in my rc.conf I have this defined:
ifconfig_ural0=wpa DHCP
hostname=my.home.server
And lastly this is my wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
ssid=MYNETWORK
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk=mysecretpass
}
Anyone have any ideas on how I can pull down a stable connection with this so
that I can upgrade to 8.0?
Thanks in advance,
Bobby

Recommendations for running FreeBSD as a guest OS
I have a small network at work that, unfortunately, uses Windows 2003. I need a good mail server, but I do not have a budget for purchasing additional software. Exchange requires too many hacks to configure a catchall email account, and Exchange and I do not get along very well. So, today while brainstorming, I thought why not run FreeBSD as a guest OS on the box. Any suggestions for the best way of doing this?
