Absolutely yes. As I said I am really keen to get it sorted. I have 
spent quite a lot of money on two different wireless routers (in 6 
months time, two different locations) that doesn't work wireless with my 
FreeBSD laptop - bummer.
Is there some image file I can download and install or do I have to 
compile the whole thing from sources?
