Based on your email, I will assume that you purchased a compatible wireless adapter. 1. Make sure your pccard slots work in FreeBSD 5.3. There's no use in struggling with the pccard if the slots don't work. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/laptop/x58.html 2. Make sure your kernel is configured for your hardware. You may have to add devices to your kernel: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html 3. Configure your wireless connection: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html Have fun, Andrew Gould _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
