Assuming that you're talking about MiniPCI cards, you can use any based on the Atheros chipset. I believe most if not all currently shipping Atheros cards are supported in FreeBSD 6.2. I have personally been using Wistron CM9 for nearly a year now. As far as the problem you described, you could have been running mixed b/g mode causing protection bit to be set which effectively reduces the throughput of your wireless LAN.
Hi, thanks for the information. I have logged on to the freebsd router have a look at its wifi setup in rc.conf, but I don't think it is configured as b/g combination mode. I don't have a login to this router at the moment, so I can't post the content of the rc.conf file here. Do you mind post your wifi configuration here or send it to my email? Thanks Sam Yuri
