It helps if they're based on an Atheros chipset. I haven't run across that particular pc-card one but we can add it to the test list. We recently put a mini-pci 3g evdo card in one of our laptops and got it going fairly easily. Works great! For a decent network config GUI, checkout PC-BSD, the desktop config of FreeBSD. It's currently on 7.x but Kris Moore is working on the 8 release right now, which won't be to far behind the FreeBSD release. best, -matt _______________________________________________ freebsd-mobile@... mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-mobile-unsubscribe@..."
	RE: USB WiFi by Ben Fallon :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Why is that? I registered with my info... Its just been my experience with FreeBSD that it's the elegance of how well and easy it just works from editing the files. When something doesn't work there is no faulty GUI to have to troubleshoot just go strait to the source of the issue in the file. Anyway, you could always use a locked down version of webmin if you want a quick fix. And also aids you in doing things graphically if that's how you prefer.

I want the UI on the router to be text. My point is I do not want the user to have to edit conf files in the field. Ubuntu is nice, but this is a FreeBSD list and FreeBSD runs very nicely with Gnome, which I am using right now to type this with Epiphany and my ISP's clunky web mail system. I have been using FreeBSD since version 2 and Gnome since 1.4. I am certain others here have been at it a lot longer than me. This is not an excuse to start a FreeBSD vs Ubuntu war. Looking forward to hearing you contribute something about FreeBSD.

I've only tried one, but I suspect the best supported cards will be of the 11b/g variety. I can personally vouch for the Linksys Compact Wireless-G (WUSB54GC) adapter to work perfectly with the rum(4) driver. > How will network selection work? In 7.1 I just edit my /etc/rc.conf and reboot, but I need a more user friendly UI. Why not use ifconfig(8) and wpa_supplicant(8)?
