I got a D-Link DWA-556 a couple of days ago. Works fine for me in 11g mode. Have not tried hostap. ath0: <Atheros 5416> mem 0xfd9f0000-0xfd9fffff irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci4 ath0: [ITHREAD] ath0: AR5418 mac 12.10 RF2133 phy 8.1 I'm running 8.1-RC2 now. Hoping for 11n driver support soon. ;) Cheers, - Emiel van de Laar _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
