It works great with FreeBSD and Linux (but is hosed in the latest release of NetBSD). The card costs about $200 retail; but I just got one on eBay for much less. Best of luck, Andrew Gould How about wireless to ethernet bridges. Has anyone used them. You can find many by searching goolge for wireless ethernet bridge. -- Kind regards Abu Khaled ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

PLANET WL-8310, $30: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833322201 http://www.planet.com.tw/news/productnews/WL-8310.htm IIRC this was the cheapest WLAN card I could find that supported FreeBSD's hostap mode. It's listed as having an Atheros chipset in the Linux hostap WLAN list and IIRC I did some fact checking (think maybe it was the FCC report) and it DID have a FreeBSD supported atheros chipset. I was going to buy this card and test it but haven't got around to it yet, this was back in the late fall of last year. Otherwise you could look for a Prism2/2.5/3 chipset based card. Check out the following man pages; ath, wi, and wlan. If you want a grep'able' copy of the Linux wlan list (76K, ASCII text) email me. I had to pull it in HTML form off the website (I can't remember which site though?) and manually format it. it lists 5 things; company name, what wifi it supports i.g. 802.11b or 802.11a etc., model number, interface type i.g. PC-Card, CardBus, PCI, Mini-PCI, etc., and what chipset it uses. I can post it here if you want but like I said earlier, it's 76KB's of plain text. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
