Support was added for several wireless cards in 6.0R and is listed in the notes.
I just installed 6.1 on a laptop with an Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 on-board card.
If you follow the 6.1 docs there is no reference to these cards and they are not
listed in the 6.0R harward list (becuase I guess they are in the 6.0R notes).

The 6.1 docs point to ../6.0R/hardware-i386.html.

I found information on the ipw driver via google.

From: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.0R/hardware-i386.html
   The ipw(4) (for Intel PRO/Wireless 2100), iwi(4) (for Intel PRO/Wireless
   2200BG/2225BG/2915ABG), ral(4) (for Ralink Technology RT2500), and ural(4)
   (for Ralink Technology RT2500USB) drivers have been added.

My suggestion is to add the above to ../6.0R/hardware-i386.html or write a new
one for 6.1R.
