Now I have a WPC11v4 piece of tripe with the Realtek chipset, for Obtain a Linksys WPC11 v3 card. I have been using this card for quite some time with little issue. Actually, I was able to use this wireless card to install FreeBSD 4.10 on a laptop recently. I have not been able to get any wifi working on FreeBSD 5.x, so I don't know there. You can normally obtain a ver3 card on ebay for around $30-50 US. I got mine for $35, and it was new, in the shrink-wrapped packaging.

Re: 802.11b with FreeBSD
Hello Josh: I use a Proxim Harmony 8430 card that works well (wi0). I would suggets looking in the PCMCIA section of The FreeBSD Laptop Compatibility List: http://gerda.univie.ac.at/freebsd-laptops/ There are some Cisco Aironet 350 cards listed here: http://gerda.univie.ac.at/freebsd-laptops/index.pl?action=list_pcmcia_cat&catid=1 On Mon, 12 Jul 2004 12:55:01 -0400, Josh Ockert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Does anyone have any suggestions on wireless cards to use with > FreeBSD? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I used to have a USR 2410 but I could never get it to work under Linux and I eventually accidentally smashed it in my messenger bag. Now I have a WPC11v4 piece of tripe with the Realtek chipset, for which Realtek only release drivers for Redhat Linux. But it's flaky anyway -- it seems like it's resetting the card every time the configuration changes, and it is constantly searching for different access points, so I constantly get little bumps in wireless service and it often disconnects me from clients requiring persistent connections (messenger services, etc) -- so I want to get a new card. I'd like to be able to use this card on FreeBSD, because I'd really like to ditch Windows. I'm looking at a "Cisco Aironet 350 PCM352 Wireless PC Card" on ebay. Has anyone ever actually gotten this to work on FreeBSD? What about a pre-v4 WPC11? Any success with the D-Link DWL-650 (and if so, any chipset or other caveats with that?)? Any help would be appreciated. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" On my laptop, I use the D-Link DWL-650 and on my desktop, I use the Linksys WPM11.
