At Sun, 28 Jan 2007 it looks like Jan Henrik Sylvester composed:

 The only usb wlan driver in FreeBSD is ural (Ralink RT2500USB). Also, ndis

 (Some people seem to be working on porting rum and zyd from OpenBSD to

Oh... that is very disappointing.

I have my laptop triple booted with Windows-2000, Knoppix-5.1.1 and
FreeBSD-6.2 and was going to show off FreeBSD's network speed as a
comparison test to show my coworkers that Linux and 2000 is not the only
option.
