freebsd-mobile Digest, Vol 258, Issue 1

[Bernd-Michael Ruhe]

Hi all,

good update on wifi for vs 7.0

I've got an IBM thinkpad T60 with integrated wifi. Didn't work at all.
Tried various configurations/settings; no go.

But I have an "old" Netgear card; which is now working fine with FreeBSD
7.0. Strange enough to say, that on my other partition Ubuntu's 7.10 wifi is
working out of the box.

Any idea to get the "standard nowaday's Intel wifi's" running on
FreeBSD?

regards
Michael
