Someone else already answered yes, but I have a newbie tip I just
relearned the hard way.
I was having a hard time finding out which wifi cards are supported by
fbsd. I looked around for some time, reading lots of good stuff, but
never quite sure which cards worked with the wi driver.
Doooh! man wi gives a list of cards. You might want to try looking at
it or the other wireless drivers (an, ray, awi,?)
I guess the moral is to try to go straight to the source. Sometimes I
have a hard time with man pages, but usually if I do not look at them,
they contain exactly what I wanted to find.
good luck!
