Wireless PCI or PCIe card recommendations

2011-08-25 Thread Geoff Roberts
Hi, Since upgrading my hardware, my old Netgear WG311T PCI card causes the FreeBSD 8 kernel to freeze at boot time. I've also tested FreeBSD 9 beta 1. I'm looking for a replacement card - either PCI, or PCI Express. I need a card that can do Multi-Base Station or Virtual Access Points. Kind re

Hi, Is it possible to join two sites with the same subnet across a VPN? I have two sites that have the same subnet/mask. I need these two separated networks to behave as one across a VPN. All configuration examples I've come across so far assume that each site will have a different subnet. Eg,
