need help with pcmcia wireless network card
I have a laptop with freebsd-6.0 and I've got everything working except my Buffalo WLI-CB-G54S wireless network card. When I insert the card I get following message cardbus0: network at device 0.0 (no driver attached) I found two pages that seems to be instructions to get the card working: http://geocities.yahoo.co.jp/gl/stealth_daemon/view?.date=20050623.utc=1133948970 http://geocities.yahoo.co.jp/gl/stealth_daemon/view?.date=20051207.utc=1133982628 as they are japan, I can't get but the main idea. So far the ndisgen doesn't work it fails to build the .ko file, but I've had better luck with ndiscvt which made and if_ndis.ko both ndis.ko and if_ndis.ko are loaded, but I get no new devices and still get the no driver attached message. I have no idea what to do now and I really need to get that card working. Ideas anyone? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Okay. I've got it sorted out.

Wireless network card speed?
Hi, Thank you sooo much for helping me out with my network card setup. Now I know it was a dumm questione.(/stand/sysinstall.. OFCOURSE). Anyway, I did something unbelievable!! I setup my built in wireless card!!! Sorry for all this info about my laptop. My only little problem is freebsd operate my card only 5Mps. The card can go upto 11Mps.

You should check out the command wicontrol(8) if your WiFi card uses the wi(4) or ath(4) driver (I'm sure a similar tool exists for other wireless NIC drivers as well). In fact, here you go: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi Just type `wicontrol' into the box and hit Submit. Mind you, though, that the fact that the card is operating at 5Mbps could be due to the conditions where the laptop is located. The poorer the signal, the lower the speed (something Windows elegantly neglects to tell you, you only know if the connection is Excellent, Good, Low, Very Low or No Signal).
