Hi,
I get access to the Internet via a wireless connection to my router in
another room. I use a usb wireless adapter (Netgear WG121), which works
fine under Win....but I am really not sure how to get this working with
FreeBSD 5.1. I have read the manual and a few forum posts, and it seems
that USB adapters are supported by default in FreeBSD 5? Is this true, or
is there something I need to enable in the kernel? I am just not sure what
to
do in order to get this working, and until it works...my BSD box is
without inet access :(:( Could anyone help?
when I insert the USB wireless adapter whilst sitting in a shell...I get:
ugen1: BayNETGEAR product 0x4210, rev 2.00/2.03, addr2
But "ifconfig -a" reveals no wireless adapters :(
Thanks for your time!
Best regards
Wang
