To Whomever may be able to help,

     I'm trying to do an FTP based install via my SMC wireless nic
onto a Toshiba Satellite 110CT.  I can't get the install off the
ground because the wireless nic is not recognized and I don't see
where I can load additional drivers.  The 5.2.1 ver comes with a
drivers flp image per the following: 
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.2.1-RELEASE/floppies/
but there is no drivers flp image for 5.3.X per: 
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.3-BETA4/floppies/ . 
Can I use the 5.2.1 drivers.flp image with the 5.3.X beta?  I'm a
newbie at this and have tried to RTFM so please be gentle.  I know the
hardware's ok because I did a sucessfuly ftp based install via the
wireless nic onto the same laptop with Debian-Woody-Linux BUT I'd
rather be running FreeBSD.  Any constructive guidance would be
appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Dom
